Sport HistoryAthletics Read moreAthletics CloseThe pupils learn the many different aspects of both track and field athletics during the school year which culminate in School Sports day on the Friday before half term in the Summer Term. Successful athletes have for the past few years represented the school at both the district and county competitions and have gone on to greater things elsewhere. The school is fortunate to have a good 400m grass track and associated pits and field areas, which, set amongst the trees on the Elm Field, with far reaching views to Glastonbury Tor and beyond, is the idyllic place to spend a summers afternoon.

Cricket Read moreCricket CloseCricket is popular throughout the school and practice is held twice a week throughout the winter in the sports hall. One session is a technique based net, the other an indoor game to develop match awareness and both are well attended. In the summer term teams are run for each age group from Under 12 up to 6th form 1st XI standard who play friendly and cup matches against other schools. The Under 14s and Under 16's also play evening matches in the Mid Wessex League against local club sides and in 2008 the Under 14s won the League championship with a 100% record in games played. Annual matches with Millfield give the players in the Under 14s and Under 15s a chance to play longer format games and have an afternoon off school! Practice again takes place on Mondays and other days when fixtures allow with the school playing over 40 competitive fixtures each summer, weather permitting.
