Sporting life Sherborne Girls strongly believes that sport plays a very important role of the holistic development of an individual. Apart from the long-term health benefits associated with physical activity and a healthy lifestyle, sport helps to develop an individual’s well-rounded understanding of teamwork, leadership, honesty, respect, excellence, resilience and more. Our pupils have a tremendous opportunity to participate in a wide variety of competitive and recreational sports. Spread over the three terms, our main sports are; Hockey, Lacrosse, Netball, Cross Country, Swimming, Athletics and Tennis. Girls are encouraged to step out of their comfort zone to sample other sports and activities on offer too.

From entry into Sherborne Girls, it is an expectation that all pupils play in representative teams throughout the year. As pupils enter the Sixth Form, many continue to play in regular representative sports fixtures while others opt to participate in a structured physical activity programme run by the Oxley Sports Centre.

The School also offers an opportunity to receive additional performance coaching from suitably experienced and qualified coaches. These include Tennis, Squash, Badminton, Dance, Fencing, Karate and more.

All pupils at Sherborne Girls automatically become members of the Oxley Sports Centre. This gives the girls access to a wide number of activities including Swimming, Yoga, Zumba, Spinning, Boxercise, Junior Gym, Circuits, Boot Camp and Pilates.

As you can see, there is something for everyone and we encourage all pupils to maintain a healthy level of physical activity while at Sherborne Girls. By involving them in a variety of sports and physical activities throughout their time at School, we establish habits that stay with the girls for life.

“Be it hockey, lacrosse, netball or squash, sport is one of the best ways of making new friends... it’s also great fun.”
