At Charterhouse all pupils are encouraged to participate in and enjoy themselves across a wide range of sports, making use of the School’s impressive facilities.
Visit our Sports section | Internal PageThere are both competitive inter-school sports programmes and also inter-house competitions, providing opportunities not only for the most talented performers to develop and flourish but also for the many others who are keen to practise and compete at an appropriate level. A full line-up of sports fixtures is offered on Saturday afternoons, with some of the younger age groups fielding as many as five or six teams.
Sport offers opportunities to cultivate communication and leadership skills, to work as part of a team, and to develop resilience by learning to meet success and failure head-on. Most importantly, participation in sport is an excellent way to improve health and well-being. It helps all our pupils to learn to take responsibility for themselves, setting them up for later life by teaching them the importance of maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
Charterhouse seeks to combine academic excellence with sport at all levels. In short, we aim to promote participation and develop performance for boys and girls throughout their time at the School.
