BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

We believe every pupil, regardless of their previous experience or ability, should have the opportunity to get involved, try something new, and discover the confidence and joy that comes from being active. 

committed to providing sport for everyone

Our Sports curriculum is deliberately broad and inclusive. We strike a balance between team and individual sports, ensuring that every young person has the chance to represent CHS, develop physical literacy and build healthy habits that will stay with them for life. Whether playing in a lunchtime fixture, joining a weekly fitness club or competing at national level, every pupil is supported and celebrated equally.

Pupils benefit from first-class sporting facilities and expert guidance from our dedicated team of PE teachers, specialist coaches, many of whom have played at elite or professional level and an on-site physio. 

We have  a busy fixture calendar with regular Saturday and midweek matches across a wide range of sports. Representing the School is a source of pride for our pupils, who compete locally, regionally and nationally.
