Sports Location and Facilities

Battersea Park

The Millennium Arena - Battersea Park

The school has one netball / tennis court on site, but most outdoor sports take place at Battersea Park, where there are extensive grass and all-weather pitches, seven all-weather netball courts and nineteen all-weather tennis courts.  Many of the courts are floodlit, as is the all-weather hockey pitch, and this allows for after school matches throughout the year.  Years 7-10 use the track and field facilities at the Millennium Arena in the park for athletics lessons throughout the year.

The school hires coaches to transfer girls to Battersea for lessons and matches, so minimal time is lost in travelling. 

Junior Sports Afternoon is held at the Millennium Stadium, while Senior Sports Day is at Wimbledon Park, where the girls compete in track and field events in the morning and then choose from a range of sporting options in the afternoon.

Swimming lessons take place at the Queen Mother Sports Centre in areas of the pools set aside for the school's exclusive use at that time.  The annual Junior and Senior Swimming Galas take place in the main pool at the QMSC.

The school has a large and well equipped gymnasium on site and this is used for both Junior and Senior lessons.
