Sport is an integral aspect of our healthy ethos and appreciation of the outdoors at Windermere School.

 

We are proud to have many pupils that have excelled and play at County and National levels. The programme of sports activities includes team sports, coaching sessions, sports play days, and sports tours.

 

Team practices and activity sessions are offered in a wide range of sports activities and are tailored to the appropriate needs of the different age groups. The major competitive sports are netball, hockey, football, tennis, cricket and athletics, in which regular competitive opportunities are provided. Support is given to the many students who participate at County level and beyond. Basketball, rounders, cross-country running, and volleyball are popular club sports at the school. Riding is offered as a recreational activity, within the activities programme, and the school supports many serious competitors who are involved up to international level.

 

National and International sports tours have been organised for senior pupils. Throughout the years students have enjoyed competing in Barbados, South Africa, Spain and France.
