New swimming pool to open in Olympic year

Crosfields is delighted to confirm that planning approval for their new swimming pool project was granted by Wokingham Borough Council in January. The state of the art pool is the next large scale development project for the School.

Rugby


Rugby starts in year 3 (Under 8) where the boys play the game in its 7-a-side tag format.  Contact Rugby starts in year 4 and the rules change subtly each year until the boys reach the top of the school where they play the more recognisable 15-a-side game.  As with Football, resources for the teaching of Rugby are plentiful with every group having access to one ball for every two pupils, tackle bags, contact pads, tackle suits and a scrummaging machine.

We attempt to involve as many boys in competitive fixtures as possible and run the following teams:

  • Year 3 – Four 7-a-side teams
  • Year 4 – Four 9-a-side teams
  • Year 5 – Four 9-a-side teams
  • Year 6 – Three 12-a-side teams
  • Year 7&8 – Two 15-a-side teams

Crosfields has had great success in recent years at the top of the school, and won the U13 IAPS National Prep Schools Tournament in 1999, 2000 & 2004.  In 2007 our Under 10 team achieved the same and are currently National Prep School Champions.
