Sport
Sport is important at Leicester High,
and not just for the sporty, the talented,
and the willing. Our commitment to
sport starts with the time we give to
it on the timetable, and we preserve
that throughout the school because
if girls don’t learn physical confidence
at school they probably never will.
Everyone participates, and the variety
of sports available ensures that we
offer an activity which every girl can
enjoy. In Year 6 girls play nine sports in
six locations. The investment we make
in accessing sports venues means
that the girls benefit from facilities
that many schools simply do not have.
Whilst half of primary school children
leave school unable to swim, all girls in
Year 1-5 learn at Evington Pool.
The Juniors compete in swimming
galas, cross country, gymnastics and
netball. Seniors play weekly badminton
and netball matches against other
schools and there is regular coaching
and pre-season training. Girls compete
against each other too and the
annual badminton, tennis and netball
tournaments are always fiercely
contested!
Did you know...?
Girls can choose from over
25 sports clubs, either at lunch
or after school, and almost all
are free.
