With no less than 12 astroturf courts (which double as hockey pitches throughout the rest of the year), our campus is a great place to train competitively with our various groups or simply to play for fun. In the Summer term we offer structured programmes for all age groups, and bring in a number of specialist coaches to further support and develop our offering.
We have a full fixture list which caters for all abilities, and we pride ourselves on being able to help every pupil who is interested in learning a new sport or further improve their skills. We see tennis as a sport that everyone can be a part of, from encouraging all pupils to get involved, to our elite players who are part of regional and national squads.
All children in our Prep & Junior Schools will play tennis during curriculum time. In the Senior School, boys and girls in Form 1 and 2 all play tennis within their PE lessons. From Form 3 upwards, pupils can choose it as their option for PE during the summer term. We have recently introduced pickleball from Junior 1 upwards, both within the PE curriculum and through a thriving pickleball club.
In addition to timetabled lessons, we have optional co-curricular tennis from Prep 4 upwards, which over 250 pupils participate in regularly. All abilities are welcome to join our tennis club, from beginners all the way through to the large number of pupils who play at regional and national level. For those who are keen, there’s the chance to represent the school in competitive matches.
