House Sports Competitions

Every pupil represents their House in football, rugby, swimming and cross country during their time at the School, with many others being able to do so in tennis, badminton, basketball and rugby sevens. The major House event of the year remains Sports Day, where all pupils from the Lower First to Upper Third Years contribute to the success of their House.

Sports Tours

During their time at É«ÖÐÉ«ÊÓƵ’s Juniors, every pupil is given the opportunity to experience a sports tour. There is an annual football tour, an international cricket tour (visiting for example Antigua, Barbados and St Lucia), a pre-season rugby tour to Biarritz, a tennis tour to Portugal, a ski team that competes at Independent Ski Championships and a ski trip. In recent years, the school has also toured South Africa for rugby, cricket and football, the West Indies for cricket and America for football.
