The main sports for the boys are rugby, hockey and cricket. The girls play netball, hockey and rounders. The children are coached by specialists and leave Winchester House with a strong grounding in technique and sportsmanship.
We have 9 acres of extremely flat well drained and expertly maintained playing fields.
All pupils play games up to five times per week and have either one or two lessons of PE, depending on the age group.
