Gymnastics

All pupils can participate in gymnastics at Surbiton High School, from complete beginners, through to those competing at the highest level. We provide the opportunity for all girls and boys to progress according to their ability, and take part competitively or purely for recreational purposes.

Gymnastics is a great way to keep fit and is proven to be a great foundation for many other sports. It improves flexibility, strength, coordination and spatial awareness. Participation also teaches pupils the qualities of hard work, discipline, sportsmanship and dedication.

Our Gymnastics Clubs run after School on different nights according to age/ability. See Mrs Osborn (Head of Gymnastics).

Girls of any ability are welcome to attend these classes. The sessions are structured at a basic and progressive level, with the opportunity to access the BG Proficiency Award Scheme. This is a recreational session aiming to develop general gymnastics skills, fitness and fun.

Please come and join the Surbiton High School Junior Ski Club. The programme will deliver the best opportunities for your child to become a very proficient skier. Whether they want to improve their technique ready for a family holiday, or want to develop into a ski racer, this club provides a platform to cover it all. Due to the nature of the sport and to ensure quality of coaching and maximisation of progress, there are limited places and the club runs throughout the whole year. This means that we are not always able to take on newcomers mid-way through the year. We do run learn to ski courses for those who haven’t skied before in preparation for joining the club the following year.
