Sport

We engage and inspire children across all ages and abilities so that every child will build their confidence through a range of sporting experiences.

In Years 1 and 2, we focus on building the foundations of physical literacy. Lessons centre around mastering core skills such as basic movement, balance, agility and coordination. During these years, children begin to explore Embley’s core sports.

From Year 3, children join our Games programme and play modified competitive games as they continue to develop physically, building their flexibility, strength and stamina. As children move up the school, opportunities to represent Embley in fixtures and tournaments increase.

Core sports

Our core competitive sports are rugby (boys), hockey (girls and boys), netball (girls) and cricket (girls and boys), with a squad training and fixture programme from Year 3.  The children also take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges as part of our sports programme, including sailing, climbing and skiing. Additional recreational sports available include golf, athletics, tennis, ballet, cross country, swimming and gymnastics.

We are fortunate to have all our sports facilities onsite for all the children to enjoy. They include rugby pitches, an all-weather Astroturf pitch, athletics track, cricket nets, netball courts, a 9-hole course, a covered swimming pool and tennis courts.
