Sport is an important and vibrant part of life at Grey Court. We aim to provide a wide range of sports at levels suited to students’ different abilities and interests. The sports programme provides opportunities for students to get involved at competitive or recreational levels.

These have included visits to St Paul’s Cathedral, to local mosques and temples, to Box Hill and to the Imperial War Museum. Each trip is linked to the school curriculum whilst also developing social skills and encouraging leadership and self esteem.
