Sports Activities and Achievements

The PE curriculum in Year 7 consists of Rugby, Swimming, Basketball, Trampolining, Tennis, Athletics, Cricket, Gymnastics, Hockey, Netball, Dance, Rounders, Football, and Multi-sport activity.

As students progress through the school they will also be able to spend time on a variety of activities including Volleyball, Badminton, Outdoor Education, Trampolining, Water-polo, Self Defence, Aqua-Aerobics, Skiing, Personal Survival & Fitness training and Cheerleading.

There will be opportunities for Year 7 students to try out many new sports, or improve at familiar ones, in the many lunchtime and after school clubs.

Chauncy students regularly represent the school in competitions against other schools in many sports and some represent the District, County and even Great Britain in their chosen sport. Pupils achieving a high level are awarded School Colours, and have the chance to become Sports Captains.

Chauncy’s reputation as a sports school of excellence within the area is growing, particularly with the senior side winning the National Basketball Championships and a number of teams winning district tournaments in previous years.

Specialist coaches come into school to run coaching sessions in Cricket, Rugby, Basketball, and Trampolining. Students may have the opportunity to coach and manage teams and we encourage them to become involved with local clubs. In addition to the large number and variety of clubs and teams, there are regular sporting activities to take part in, for example:

• Pupils have the opportunity to run tournaments for primary school pupils through the Junior Sports Leadership Award
• Trips to National sporting events – in particular the 2012 Olympic site
• Competitions against other schools
• Competitions within school (inter-house sessions three times a year)
• Charity events
• School Ski Trip
• PGL netball and rugby weekends
• Outdoor and adventure trip
