Cricket

Another traditional sport for grammar schools is cricket. Played since our early days as a school, students develop the core skills within games afternoons and play competitive matches in local fixtures and tournaments.

We are one of only a handful of state schools in Gloucestershire to host a full grass wicket with a recently renovated pavilion as well as an astro pitch. We play a number of public schools as well as other local schools with teams from Year 7 boys & girls all the way to 1st XI standard. Within each year group, a number of students are involved in district and county cricket and challenged with playing different formats of the game and potentially playing up in higher age groups. 

Mr Windsor is our Director of Cricket who oversees the whole school cricket programme is well supported by other PE staff and Mr Germaine who is a business studies teacher and also a Gloucestershire County Cricket coach. Students access 1:1 support as well as wider team training sessions both in games and after school practices. 

Over the years, in 2014 and 2017 the senior cricket squad has toured Barbados and the Caribbean to challenge students and give them a cricket experience to last a lifetime.
