We are fortunate to have a number of high quality games coaches. Our First XV is coached by our Deputy Head, Sean Robinson, a former Saracens’ full-back. The Colts rugby team is coached by John Pawson, our Director of Sport, former winger for Cardiff. A former international sprinter, he also runs our Athletics. Our First Xl cricket team is coached by Marc Knight and Simon Wenzel, both of whom are talented club cricketers. Simon Wenzel, an Oxford Hockey Blue, is also in charge of our hockey coaching. In addition, a number of our teachers are well qualified coaches with strong backgrounds as players in their respective sports.

Our gymnasium is well-equipped for basketball, badminton, volleyball, indoor cricket and soccer, as well as for physical education and gymnastics. Boys benefit from using the swimming facilities at Merchant Taylors’ School.

We have an extensive programme of inter-school matches, with block fixtures against other schools from Year 3 upwards. The main team games are rugby, cricket, hockey and athletics, but school fixtures are also played in basketball, cross-country, golf and tennis. Our Golf Teacher is a professional golf coach whose efforts will be enhanced by our new Pitch and Putt Golf Course. Fencing is also available as an after school activity. Inter-house competitions provide additional opportunities in a variety of sports.
