Hockey is the major sport for girls in the Michaelmas Term and it continues to grow from strength to strength with the fixture list ever expanding.

The junior years (2^nd, 3^rd & 4^th) are coached three times a week with the matches for U15 A & B, U14 A & B played on  Saturdays. Our aim is to inspire our pupils to develop a sense of drive and ambition and a hunger to succeed, resulting in excellence where appropriate.

At senior level (5^th & 6^th form) hockey is optional and the number of pupils taking part speaks volumes; 5 senior teams on a block fixture day. We are immensely proud of our tradition and success in hockey and we continue to expect the highest of standards from our pupils on the sporting field.
