Senior School sport
Sport plays an important part in the life of St John’s. We believe that participation in games and sports – at whatever level of expertise – has a beneficial effect on physical health and on the development of character. For that reason we ensure that our pupils have access to top class facilities – on campus and at our Playing Fields on the edge of the city; and we offer them expert coaching and support.
We provide a full and varied programme of sporting fixtures every week of the school year. Large team squads for our major sports of rugby, tennis, netball, cricket and athletics, together with a number of keenly contested House competitions, ensure that all pupils have an opportunity to take and active part in sport – and we encourage them strongly to get involved. As a result of this provision, the school has enjoyed great success at local and county levels in recent years.
