Girls Sport

The programme for girls' sport is based around the major games of netball, hockey, athletics, tennis and rounders. Netball and hockey are taught in the Michaelmas and Lent terms, whilst the Summer term is devoted to athletics, tennis and rounders. All groups receive specialist coaching whatever their ability level and all of our girls have the opportunity to participate in competitive matches. Where appropriate girls are entered and encouraged to attend county trials or county satellite training. If a girl is already on a county training programme for example, tennis, their coaching during school hours can be accommodated.

Netball

Our under 13 netball teams have won the Sussex County Netball Knock-out Championship in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Additionally in 2008, they won the Ardingly tournament and were runners up in both the Westbourne House and I.A.P.S tournaments.

During the 2005- 2006 season the under 13 team also won the Ardingly tournament and the Sussex Independent Schools Netball Association (SISNA) netball tournament.

In 2006 the under 11, under 12 and under 13 netball teams reached the national IAPS finals.

Rounders

The under 11 rounders team won the Tavistock and Summerhill tournament and were joint winners of the Brighton College Prep School under 11 tournament.
