Senior School Sports and Games

Our Senior School offers a diverse array of sports and activities tailored to individual interests and abilities, ensuring a holistic approach to wellbeing, and encouraging our students to strive for personal excellence irrespective of their ability.

At St Chris, we have a dynamic and inclusive approach to sports and physical education.

Our Sports Programme spans a wide range of activities, including Basketball, Football, Rugby, Netball, Volleyball, Badminton, Tchoukball, Handball, Table Tennis, Health-related Fitness, Gymnastics, Cricket, Rounders, Athletics, Cross Country, Tennis, and Swimming. This extensive offering provides students with the opportunity to explore and excel in sports that resonate with their individual passions.

We also offer A-Level and GCSE Physical Education (PE) for those who wish to pursue academic excellence in this subject. Students have opportunities to analyse a range of sports, as well as gaining a practical performance grade from their own chosen sports.

Students actively engage in half-termly Inter-house sports events, competing in a spirited atmosphere to earn points for their houses. These events not only foster healthy competition but also contribute to a sense of camaraderie and house pride within the St Chris community. We believe in shaping well-rounded individuals, and our PE Curriculum is designed to cultivate not only physical prowess but also mental resilience. Our aim is to strive for personal excellence as well as committing to sustained participation in physical activity or sport as lifelong learners as an essential part of an active and healthy lifestyle.

Dynamic Sports Clubs

Our commitment to student involvement extends to lunchtime and after-school Sports Clubs, where students have the chance to immerse themselves in the sports of their choice. These clubs are popular with our pupils, nurturing talent, and passion in a supportive environment and help foster appropriate relationships across all year groups founded on mutual respect and trust.
