The Perse Upper School has a strong sporting tradition and a commitment to ‘Sport for All’ and ‘Sporting Excellence’. When girls join the school in 2010 we will build on these traditions and our record of sporting success. Furthermore, as the school’s sporting facilities continue to improve and expand, we will be able to enhance and broaden the curriculum for all.

There are significant benefits for girls’ and boys’ sport within a co-educational environment.

All sports are treated equally and help to enhance rather than detract from our main sports.

The Sports Department supports all physical activities that students participate in outside of school. In the past this has included eventing, gymnastics, orienteering, skeet shooting and swimming.

The sports programme

 In order to achieve success the main sports of the term are compulsory for those students selected to play for the school. Once in Year 11 a games option is introduced where the students can independently opt to take up another sport.
