SPORT

The main boys’ sports are Rugby, Hockey and Cricket, whilst girls can expect Hockey, Netball and Cricket.

Physical activity and sport are an integral part of a Denstonians education as we provide a nurturing and supportive environment that helps pupils to be the best versions of themselves.  

Whatever a pupils motivation or ability we provide a high standard of coaching in a range of sports inspiring them to participate. We aim to instil an appreciation of the all round benefits of Physical activity and develop a lifelong love of sport.  

We know that participation is enhanced by enjoyment and we help pupils find a sport or physical activity that they love, enjoying the social aspects it brings and developing their all round wellness.

The weekly games programme for our pupils provides opportunities to participate,  develop and compete.  Our programme develops our pupils physical capabilities and also provides the environment to nurture teamwork and leadership skills as well as confidence and resilience. 

This booklet provides information about the sports and the level of support we offer however there we encourage visits in person to see our programme in action. To get in touch please contact the Director of Sport.
