Clubs, practices and competitions form a vital extension to the

in all activities, the highlight being Sports Day in June. The school
has teams in a wide variety of sports, competing in local leagues and
cup competitions. Our teams and individuals continue to maintain very
high standards resulting in many successes in a range of activities. The

at Hartismere. Matches are played in a variety of sports with
individuals and teams achieving considerable success". We emphasise
enjoyment and an enthusiastic and sporting approach to all sport. |
