 All pupils are encouraged to participate in a varied and wide range of extra-curricular activities. At a representative level, an extensive fixture list is  arranged and matches are played against schools both on the Island and the mainland during the week and on Saturdays. It is expected that all pupils should make themselves available to play in School matches on Saturdays during term time.Tours are organised for a number of sports and age groups. Venues include Barbados, France, Belgium, Holland and South Africa as well as more local pre-season tours to Bath (Hockey), Jersey (Netball) and Surrey (Cricket). Pupils who do not represent the school have the opportunity to compete in the extensive House competitions. In Years 10 & 11 pupils can also take the Sports Leadership Award  Level 1.

 
We encourage pupils to take pride in representing the School and have fostered excellent links with local clubs.
 
We have excellent onsite facilities, including a large sports hall, indoor cricket nets, tennis courts, netball courts, a mini astro-turf pitch, a fitness suite, indoor firing range, onsite grass athletics track, including synthetic throwing and jumping areas, and grass pitches for rugby, soccer, and hockey. We also have an outstanding wicket which is used exclusively for cricket as well as a newly built cricket pavilion which was opened in summer 2010. At Smallbrook Stadium, a mile away, we have our own full size astro-turf hockey pitch which was resurfaced in 2010 as well as two more grass pitches for rugby/ soccer. We also regularly use the local swimming pool, golf course/ driving range, squash courts, ice skating rink and the extensive water sport facilities at UKSA and sailing at Seaview
