Sport
Sport and Physical Education play an important role in Newland House School life and we are proud of our sporting reputation.
Sport for all
Our ethos is ‘Sport for all’ where each child gets the opportunity to develop their potential to the best of their ability.
We are dedicated to nurturing skills, boosting confidence and growing competence. And it is not just about sports – children learn essential life skills like teamwork, discipline, handling wins and losses, and embracing a healthy lifestyle.
We introduce the core sports of Football, Netball, Hockey, Rugby and Cricket through our Games curriculum. It is important to us that both girls and boys have equal opportunities to participate in all sports offered.

A spirit of Healthy competition
Our commitment to inclusivity goes hand in hand with fostering a spirit of healthy competition.
All children will get a chance to represent the School in regular competitive interschool fixtures, local and national tournaments or House competitions. Swimming, which the children enjoy from Year 3 upwards, is fully inclusive and offers opportunities for children to develop confidence and ability in the water as well as take part in regular galas.
Our Physical Education lessons focus on acquiring skills, understanding the demands and benefits of physical activity, and having fun in an engaging environment. Children are introduced to a broader range of sports and activities such as Gymnastics, Tennis, Badminton and Basketball.
