SPORT
Oundle has some of the best facilities of any school in the country and, whatever your sporting level and ambition, you have the opportunity to get involved in a motivating and inspiring sporting programme which:
WHY GET INVOLVED?
Sport is part and parcel of daily life at Oundle where we strive for every pupil to participate and to leave School with a positive experience of sport, developing a lifelong interest and lasting enjoyment in a sporting activity that will foster good habits long into adulthood. Our ambition is to nurture a sporting culture where all have fun, strive industriously and all excel at whatever level they aspire to; where individuals can pursue their own sporting interests alongside representing the School in mainstream competition, and where the most talented are challenged to reach their potential. We aim to develop confident and creative sports players who enjoy participation and competition.
WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE FOR ME?
Oundelians play sport at least three times a week, and there is scope to do much more. In First and Third Form, we guide pupils to particular team sports. Then, as you go up the school, the choice becomes wider and wider, and includes: athletics, cricket, rowing, rugby, football, tennis, cross country, fives, golf, cycling, swimming, netball, squash, badminton, sailing, dance, shooting, water polo, basketball, gym work, kayaking and climbing.
WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS OF ME?
All we ask of you is that you are prepared to try and are open to new experiences.
