Athletics

Head of athletics – Vicky Ryan

 

Senior School students have the opportunity to develop their skills in athletic events through both the Games programme and by taking advantage of the experienced coaches on the School’s staff who run the weekly Athletics Club. Fixtures are hosted against a number of local schools and boys and girls are encouraged to compete in the area events with many recent students progressing to regional and international level. The annual sports day, when each of the six houses compete to become overall champions, allows students of all ages to get involved in both track and field events.
 

In BGS Juniors, an annual sports day is run as an inter-house competition. Children participate in track and field events, and school records are held for these events going back over many years. In preparation for sports day, the Friday Games sessions of the first part of the summer term are dedicated to athletics for everyone.
