Sport plays a key role in developing life skills such as teamwork, communication, concentration, stamina, winning and losing. It can also provide individuals with the ability to stay fit and healthy throughout life.
The Early Years and Lower School pupils (3 – 7 year olds) learn a range of basic skills aimed at developing agility, balance, co-ordination and general fitness. This takes place in our well equipped, purpose-built sports hall and within the school grounds and is incorporated within the lesson in:
- gymnastics
- dance
- athletics
- ball skills
In the Upper School (8 – 11 year olds) pupils begin to develop sports specific skill in:
- football
- tag rugby
- hockey
- netball
- basketball
- cricket
- tennis
- rounders
- athletics
- swimming
In addition to school facilities, Greenfield uses off site facilities at Woking Park, Woking Swimming Pool and Woking Athletic Club.
All children also take part in the annual School Sports Day held at Woking Athletic Club and competitive matches are played against other local schools in football, hockey, netball, cricket, cross country and athletics. Greenfield hosts an annual Athletics Challenge for other local independent schools.
Lunchtime and after school sports clubs are available to all pupils.
