Junior sport
Sport is one of the pillars of Oundle School life, and this is no less true for pupils in the First and Second Forms than it is for those in the senior years. We want all our pupils to be fit and healthy; to develop skills that will help them to get more out of the sports they play; to enjoy competing for their School or House with pride; and to learn to win without triumph and to lose without despair. From the time they arrive in Oundle, pupils are encouraged to take part in a wide range of sports, and team sports are particularly important in the First and Second Form. The co-operation and camaraderie of the sports field are vital ingredients in the social life of the School, and also provide important lessons for life.

Weekly training sessions are usually held from 2.30pm to 4.00pm on various fields and pitches around school. Matches, when home, are followed by tea in the Two-Acre, where parents are welcome to share the excitement of their children's match over tea and home-made refreshments. When matches are away, you will find directions to the opposition school on the fixtures list.
The coaching staff is managed by Mrs L. Brighton and Mr G. Terrett, and is composed of a team of top level internal and external coaches, as well as residential Sports Fellows.
