Badminton

Within a competitive but fun environment pupils practise skills relevant to match play, learning to become confident decision makers whilst on court, playing either singles or doubles, to be organised and honest whilst competing and to play to win. They also develop a greater understanding of what they are trying to achieve and how to achieve it through increased knowledge of strategy, tactics and problem solving. Furthermore, they show the motivation to improve and develop the technical skills and control of body movement to confidently participate and contribute within competitive situations. The players with the most promise get the opportunity to play in competitive fixtures against other schools and in Borough competitions. 

It is taught in PE lessons in Year 8 and is also available as a recreational extra-curricular club for all age groups. Our badminton squad training runs from Year 7 to Upper Sixth and pupils compete across both Borough Tournaments and friendly fixtures.
