Sport We are fortunate to have and to enjoy the superb facility of the Merton Fields, just across the road from Brewer Street, in Christ Church Meadow. On extensive and very well-maintained pitches we are able to offer boys coaching and match play in Rugby (Michælmas Term), Association Football and Hockey (Hilary Term) and Cricket and Athletics (Trinity Term). We put out teams at Under 13, 11 and 9 and have a busy fixture list against the major local schools as well as inter-house matches. Swimming takes place each Friday at Westminster College. A significant proportion of the timetable is dedicated to Games and virtually every boy at some stage of his career with us will represent the school in a team. You could say that while we want all our boys to enjoy their sport, this is an area of school life that we take seriously. There can be few prep schools able to match the idyllic setting of a cricket match played against the backdrop of Cathedral and College on a summer afternoon; and here it is that boys’ Athletics training culminates in Sports Day followed in the afternoon by Trinity Fair, a long-standing school tradition. Other SportsAs part of the Clubs’ programme boys may take part in squash on the Christ Church courts. Judo takes place weekly, there are winter cricket nets in the Hilary Term, and multi sports in the Trinity Term.
Out of term there is a cricket course for two weeks (in July). There is an annual school ski trip to France in January.
