Sports

Here we recognise the importance of physical activity as an integral part of our pupils' development.

Our sports programme is designed to foster teamwork, discipline, and a love for physical fitness, while providing pupils with opportunities to excel both individually and as part of a team.

Facilities and Opportunities

Bancroft's boasts a wide array of top-notch sports facilities that support a diverse range of activities. Our campus includes:

• A large multi-purpose sports hall
• A 24m indoor swimming pool
• Extensive playing fields spanning 17 acres
• West Grove playing fields feature tennis and netball courts, cricket, football, and rugby pitches, a state-of-the-art CrossFit gym, and brand-new cricket nets.

All pupils participate in a vibrant weekly programme of PE and games. The Thirds (Year 7) have games on a Friday afternoon, and curriculum sports include football, hockey, rugby, netball, athletics, cricket, and tennis. They also have three 50-minute PE lessons per fortnight which includes swimming, basketball, and gymnastics.

Football has become a leading sport at the school, with both girls' and boys' teams excelling in external competitions. Read more about our journey to the ISFA finals
