Hockey is the major sport of the Michaelmas Term. The college fields two teams per junior age group and three in the senior age groups. Friendly fixtures are played on most Saturdays during the term, with Sussex and National Competitions for the 1st XI, Under 16 and Under 14 teams taking place during the week. Many girls have links with local clubs and represent the county; a number also go on to gain regional and national honours.
