Sports at CHS

At Colchester High School we encourage all pupils to excel in a number of sports and activities that are on offer both in the curriculum and through Out of School Hours Learning. Particular interest is also paid to pupils who take time to partake in sport outside school.

The school participates in a number of sports against other schools, at local, district, regional and national levels, with a great deal of success. We believe that it is important to compete against pupils from both state and independent backgrounds, and we feel that this gives the student a better idea of the importance of their contribution.

The curriculum encompasses over 15 activities, with four annual major events, the Cross Country, Swimming and Athletics championships, and a Golf tournament. There are also competitions where pupils compete for their house in Football, Hockey, Rugby, Basketball, Volleyball, Badminton, Cricket, Tennis and Table Tennis.

Outside of the curriculum there are also opportunities for pupils to take part in walking weekends, activity weeks and attend sporting events. If they excel in a specific sport, we have many links with local clubs, from which the child can benefit.
