Sport
Students at The Academy have had a great deal of sporting success in both boys’ and girls’ sport. Our students achieve personal and team success both within the school and outside. We aim to encouage an ethos of sporting achievement as well as the need for a healthy lifestyle beyond the school gates.
We have a good tradition in both boys’ and girls’ sport with standards continuing to improve under the guidance of our coaching staff and helpers. We have an excellent record of fielding teams in a wide range of age groups, despite being a relatively small school.
