Our sport academy is for students that have a range of sporting interests.
We introduce students to sports including volleyball, basketball, table tennis and dodge ball. If you have expertise in a different sport, we may even invite you to share your expertise and coach a few sessions. This is one of the most exciting parts of the sports department. We are all mad about sport and love to try new sports. Try our quick quiz to see what sports we play.
