Weekly Sports Fixtures
Sport is played here as an essential part of the curriculum promoting the importance of physical wellbeing.
We have weekly sports fixtures at both a local and national level, allowing all children to participate and represent the school. Our reputation precedes us and at Crosfields we are proud of the successes of our teams and celebrate achievements at the individual level. Last year we were proud winners of the Girls U13’s championship in cricket.
Scholarship
Swimming with the best
Our swimming teams, in particular, are recognised at a national level.
Amongst our alumni we have swimmers who have qualified for the Olympic and Commonwealth trials.
Pupils have gone on to be offered full scholarships for swimming at top boarding schools such as, Milfield, along with extending their skills to represent Great Britain in rowing and kayaking.
We believe that every child should know how to swim, and children are taught weekly from Nursery. We have a Level 3 qualified Performance Coach who works with Seniors to hone their skills and help them to perform to a highly competitive level.

Taking inspiration – sporting stars
We often welcome guest speakers from athletes who have reached the top in their field. Leaders in their field who have visited Crosfields include an England Hockey Captain, who motivated pupils by demonstrating the benefits of dedication and teamwork. The Paralympic Gold Medalist swimmer Ellie Simmonds opened our Sports Centre.
Co-educational in all areas
Co-education is not just about classroom demographics but runs through the culture of our school. Demonstrating this commitment, we have adapted our cricket lessons to be co-educational and sent mixed teams to compete. Crosfields sports teams represent the school as a whole and we encourage both boys and girls to participate in all sport and everyone has the opportunity to compete.
