Sport
Physical Education and Sport are central features of life for Box Hill students, which they experience through physical education lessons, the activities programme and competitive sport. Each of these opportunities offer different emphasises for the individual.
Physical Education lessons aim to develop the physical, mental and social competencies of every student in the school. Lessons take place under the categories of KS3 Physical Education, GCSE PE and IB Sports, health and exercise science. Lessons will offer challenges which are appropriate and seek to develop and progress students at a rate in which they feel comfortable but stimulated. Over the course of an academic year, students will experience a variety of physical activities. We aim to instill in our students an enthusiasm for physical exercise and an understanding of its importance which they will take with them into adult life.
On top of PE lessons, Box Hill students also get the opportunity to participate in a range of recreational and competitive sports. Fixtures take place every Wednesday and we compete against a range of schools in the following:
Autumn Term: Boys Football, Girls Hockey
Spring Term: Boys Rugby or Hockey, Girls Netball
Summer Term: Boys Cricket, Girls Rounders
We also compete in cross country, basketball, athletics and tennis. We encourage as many students to get involved as possible but, by their very nature, teams are selective. For those not selected in teams, there are an enormous range of recreational physical activities on offer including martial arts, non-team games, ultimate frisbee, golf, lacrosse, sailing, climbing and recreational tennis.
Each term there are also a number of 'Intra school' events; 'Inter thirds' afternoons are highlights in the school calender and they see our students competing across sports including Cross Country and Sports Day.
