Sport: Inclusion and Excellence

We have a proud tradition of sporting excellence with pupils and former pupils competing at an elite county, national and international level. However sport is for everyone at The Oratory, every pupil can find something here to enjoy, whatever their ability.

Sport is a large part of life for everyone at the school. Games, including matches, is timetabled four times a week. There are a multitude of sports on offer which ensures that all pupils can take part and feel a sense of teamwork and achievement. 

Coaching

As well as a strong team of specialist teachers, we have a number of professional coaches who have competed at an international level, to provide high-quality tuition, master-classes and guidance. We are keen for our pupils to always strive to achieve the highest of standards. 

Major Sports

Our pupils thrive on the opportunities to compete and develop their talents in team and individual sports.

Girls can participate in cricket, football and touch rugby too. As well as team sports there are plenty of opportunities to compete as individuals in swimming, triathlon, racquet sports, athletics and much more. 

"There’s oodles of space here, and no lack of ambition to keep up with the other leading independent schools of the world in terms of facilities."
