Sport

Our Vision

To promote a ‘Sport for All’ culture throughout Mount House School at the same time as supporting our talented athletes to further develop.​

Our Mission

Our programme:​

  • Promotes inclusivity ​
  • Teaches skills of teamwork and collaboration.​
  • Balances the opportunities for team and individual sports.​
  • Encourages healthy lifestyles and enjoyment of sport for life.​
  • Encourages students to join community sports clubs.​
  • Supports able students.

The Physical Education Department aims to create a positive learning environment, enabling both girls and boys to achieve success, enjoy a wide range of sports and activities, develop their physical skills and take personal responsibility for leading a healthy lifestyle.

All students are encouraged to achieve their best in sport, whether that is taking up a new sport, representing the school or developing as an elite competitor.

We offer students a broad spectrum of sporting experiences, and students also have a games afternoon, where teams are developed, and fixtures are played against local schools. Our sports teams have enjoyed considerable success in both regional and national ISA competitions.

The range of sporting activities we offer on games afternoons includes netball, athletics, cricket, football, basketball, hockey, golf and trampolining. Students of all ages have the opportunity to select the sports in which they would like to take part.

Our core PE curriculum covers badminton, gymnastics, trampolining, cross-country, fitness, orienteering, handball and table tennis.

We have forged partnerships with several local providers to ensure that our students have use of the very best facilities and coaching, and we are very fortunate to enjoy the use of Hadley Wood Playing Fields, Old Fold Manor Golf Club and Southgate Hockey Club at Trent Park.

If you’re not necessarily good at sport, there’s a team for you, so everybody gets involved
