The school offers pupils the opportunity to take Physical Education as an examination subject at GCSE. In 2025, 86.2% of the cohort achieved a grade 7-9. In addition, a large proportion of students take part in an extensive range of extra-curricular activities.

Our main sports for Girls' are Netball, Football and Basketball in the Winter term, and Athletics, Cricket and Tennis in the Summer term.
