Sports Teams
Representing the school in a sporting event is something many children yearn to do and remember with pride for a long time after. At Highfield we aim to provide appropriate fixtures for any pupil motivated sufficiently to attend extra coaching. This is made possible by the number of staff willing and highly experienced to coach teams during extra curricular activities. No fewer than ten members of Highfield staff, including individuals who have competed in representative sport to an impressive level, are part of this extensive programme.
Representing the school in sports events begins as early as Prep 2 when the whole year group compete against another nearby prep school. As the pupils progress up through the school the number of fixtures and sports expands. These presently include
Swimming galas
Cross country running and Athletics events
Football
High 5’s and Netball
Pop Lacrosse
Rugby
Hockey
Rounders
Cricket
Tennis
The standard of our teams is demonstrated by many successes on the field and by the number of pupils who go on to represent their secondary schools on leaving us. |
