Football

Is open to both male and female students at The Crypt School. Football is offered during the Winter Term. During this time, students benefit from playing in friendly fixtures against local schools, County tournaments and the ESFA National cup.

With teams running from Year 7 through to seniors for both boys and girls, football is a popular and successful sport at The Crypt. In Year 7 and 8 we are able to offer A&B teams and depending on numbers each year group has a boys and girls’ team. At times we have combined year groups for the girls, but football continues to be a very popular sport for students. Our passion to develop students is backed up by teams playing in local and national competitive fixtures. Girls predominately play football in Terms 1 and 2 and the boys teams play after Christmas in January through to April.  

All students benefit from regular football practice during extra-curricular sessions and afternoon games sessions. The school has benefitted from a variety of highly respected coaches, including UEFA-A qualified Chris Gooch, along with the appointment of a well-regarded Swindon Town Women’s player, Amy Leask who is an established member of the PE staff.
