Your guide to Christ's College 2024

Sport

College is known for its sportsmanship in a broad range of sports. Our excellent facilities, specialist coaches and support staff, regular training sessions and strength and conditioning programmes, are in place to assist teams and individuals develop skills in their chosen field.

Summer Sports Athletics Cricket

Sport is an integral part of College life. Years 9–12 are expected to participate in both summer and winter sports. While Year 13 are expected to participate in at least one sport. House sport competitions, held throughout the year, give everyone the opportunity to have a go at different activities and foster House and school spirit. Our Athletics Sports Day and Swimming Sports are held early in Term 1. In both cases there is an interhouse competition, as well as individual championships. These events are a great introduction to sport at College, as well as fun social activities. Parents are always welcome at sports games and events. Usual sports days are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday after school, and Saturday – but other days may be used, depending on the sport. Practice times vary, but most finish by 5.30pm. Your coach/manager will outline the expectations for your chosen sport. Whether you are a passionate sportsman or not, at College we believe there are many health and wellbeing benefits to be gained from taking part in sport and physical activity and having access to a high quality physical education programme.
