Sports

"There are lots of sports clubs - you can take part in lots of things. It's really good."
(Lower IV pupil)

St Augustine's Priory wants every girl to experience a range of sports and develop an interest, enthusiasm and enjoyment that will be with them throughout their lives. We have excellent facilities including a full size, all-weather hockey pitch and many school teams and individuals compete at all levels. All interests and skills are catered for and during their time at school girls will have the opportunity to take part in:

• netball
  
• football
  
• rounders
  
• tennis
  
• hockey
  
• athletics
  
• swimming
• dance /aerobics
• gymnastics
  

The choice of activities is increased in the Sixth Form to include:

• bowling
  
• volleyball
  
• riding
  
• ice-skating
  
• self-defence
  
• golf
  

Pupils' successes are celebrated every year at Sports Day, at which all pupils compete for their Houses, and we are County champions in hockey and our swimming squad regularly out swim local teams.

'The school successfully promotes a healthy lifestyle amongst pupils…Regular use of the extensive grounds gives pupils many opportunities to play team games harmoniously. As a result their support of one another is exceptional.'
