SPORT at Oundle

At Oundle, sport is a cornerstone of everyday life, reflecting our commitment for every pupil to participate and have a positive experience of sport. For some, this will be the experience of being part of a team and representing Oundle or their House in a sport that really matters to them. For others, it will be in reaching an elite level of competition, representing school, club, county, region and country before moving on to a sporting career.

The Oundle School Sports Centre, together with its expansive grounds, provide a hub of health, fitness, and sporting excellence. Our state-of-the-art facilities are not only a foundation for our pupils’ physical education but also welcome the community, providing access to facilities lettings, memberships, swim schools, clubs, and holiday camps to the local families, schools and clubs.

Our exceptional facilities include a superbly-equipped 70 station fitness suite, four floodlit Astroturf pitches, three indoor and six designated outdoor netball courts along with fourteen additional outdoor courts, dual use with tennis during the summer, a Tartan athletics track and a 50m swimming pool with a moveable floor and submersible boom.

SPORT SCHOLARSHIPS

We place great value on both our Sport Scholarship scheme and Dedicated Athlete Programme which help develop and motivate all those who show the necessary potential, ambition and dedication. We expect our Sport Scholars to be role models and leaders and they, in turn, can expect first-class coaching, mentoring and access to outstanding facilities.

The School has formal links with Northampton Saints (Rugby) and Loughborough Lightning (Netball) and the last year has seen pupil representation at regional and national level for cricket, badminton, rugby, tennis, show jumping, hockey and netball.
