Sport

The school has excellent sporting facilities, including a large sports hall, extensive sport fields, an indoor heated swimming pool and tennis courts. The size of our sports fields mean that we are easily able to host sporting tournaments during the school year, for a large number of visiting schools.

 

Extra-curricular sports taught

These are just some of the extra-curricular sporting activities that pupils can enjoy during their time at Hethersett. There is a charge for some extra-curricular sporting activities, please see 2010-2011 fees for further details. 

In addition, some of our parents help organise teams on behalf of the school for pupils to enter horse eventing competitions.  

Regular sporting matches, galas and fixtures are held with local state and independent schools during the year as we are part of the South Norfolk Schools Sport Partnership. These matches, galas and fixtures generally take place after school on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. All pupils are encouraged to attend practice sessions and try out for teams. 

Recent successes include our U14 netball team winning their league in March 2010 and our U12 and Under 14 badminton teams only being beaten once during the 2009-10 season.

We also have a traditional annual sports day, which all pupils from Pre-Prep through to Seniors take part in.
