The popularity and success of the current sports provision is a distinctive feature of the school and the introduction of football will further enhance the existing extensive sports opportunities

Traditional winter sports; rugby, fencing, netball and hockey will continue to be an important focus of the sports programme alongside football. From the outset, the culture and behaviours surrounding football will reflect the high standards currently associated with the school’s other sports.

Speaking of the recent developments, Headmaster, Joe Smith states:

“The addition of football continues to build on a programme of sporting excellence within the school and will evolve significantly, year on year.’  

St Benedict’s takes pride in encouraging all boys and girls to participate in sport and health-promoting physical activity as well as supporting those who wish to compete at any level. The opportunity for able and committed athletes to pursue sporting excellence is important to us all.

Mr Smith continues; ‘We are extremely excited by this new sporting chapter for St Benedict’s and much work is taking place behind the scenes to ensure that Football is integrated as seamlessly as possible into the school, and into the games provision.’
