Sport at Hook
Sport is central to our Hook curriculum and has been for some time. We provide organised sport during after School Clubs and on Friday afternoons. The sports programme is designed to encourage a rich and diverse experience for pupils. Opportunity is key: boys & girls play for school teams and in House competitions for sports teams including rugby, football, netball and cricket, as well as a broad array of other sports such as tennis, boccia, cross-fit, athletics and cross country.
Teachers enjoy coaching sports teams and we also rely on the support of excellent volunteer coaches.
Whilst pupils enjoy playing sports in their own right, the process of engaging in sport at Hook also embodies many qualities promoted by the School . Learning to win and lose; to lead and be led; to push oneself to, and perhaps beyond, one’s perceived limits; to think as part of a team; to know when to strive for more and when to acknowledge defeat – these are all part of learning to be human. Consequently, Hook aims to give every pupil the chance to benefit from learning through sport by playing, improving and enjoying the sport of their choice.
As a small school, all pupils are provided with the opportunity to participate in school sports.
100% of our years five and six pupils have represented the school in sport.
