WT <strong>Education</strong> Supplement Photos: Freeimages.com/Jean Scheijen, Chutipan Chaitachawang The Mead School, Tunbridge Wells, Kent What variety of sports are available? At The Mead we offer a huge range of sports – from field sports such as tag rugby, football and hockey to athletics including high and long jump, shot put, javelin and sprinting. We play netball and do rollerblading on the school playground and take part in judo, gymnastics, trampolining and co-ordination and agility exercises in our school gym. In the summer children enjoy rounders, cricket and tennis. All children from Reception age go swimming every week and our Year 6 pupils often achieve their 3000 metres badges – proof that regular, consistent swimming can really get results. Is there anything out of the ordinary that pupils can try? There are many opportunities to try all sorts of different sports here at The Mead. These include our annual activity water-sports holidays where the children can try sailing, kayaking, keel-boating and yachting. Another favourite is The Mead annual family ski-trip with skiing and snowboarding on offer. In Year 6 students get the chance to learn windsurfing at Bewl Water Reservoir. What proves to be the most popular? All sports are very popular amongst Mead pupils but perhaps unsurprisingly football and netball are the favourites. Recently circuits in the gym has also become very popular with both boys and girls. Do teams get the chance to travel to fixtures/ matches both locally and abroad? Our Mead sports teams regularly get the opportunity to travel to fixtures at local venues and other independent schools and we make use of the fantastic Bayham Sports Ground for our larger sporting events. The Mead is an active member of the Independent Schools Association and our sports teams participate in the ISA national and regional sports competitions throughout the school year, with consistent success at final stages and a recent win at the ISA South U11 Rugby Festival. How can skills be developed through participating in sports transfer to other areas of academic life? Sport gives fundamental life skills. Learning to lose. Learning to win. Playing as a team and sharing glory and defeat. Respecting the opposition, the referee, the history, representing your school with pride. Learning that life is as much about play as it is work and there is no better feeling than running at your fastest speed, pushing yourself to your physical limit and feeling truly alive. Sport builds confidence, resilience, wellbeing and commitment, traits which can all be transferred with dramatic impact upon academic progress and achievement. How do you encourage a healthy and active lifestyle? The huge range of physical activities on offer at The Mead mean there’s something for everyone whether it’s a team sport like tagrugby or something more individual such as trampolining. Our emphasis is on having fun whilst being active to encourage those children who don’t see themselves as ‘sporty’ to give activities a try. This, along with regular opportunities for outside play, fresh air and exercise along with a healthy nutritious school menu including lots of fresh fruit and vegetables ensure a very a healthy and active lifestyle for our Meadites, from Kindergarten up to Year 6. meadschool.info Reigate Grammar School, Surrey What variety of sports are available? Is there anything out of the ordinary that pupils can try? We offer a wide variety of sporting opportunities throughout the students’ journeys at RGS; these vary from traditional sports such as Rugby, Hockey, Netball, Athletics, Cricket, Swimming, Golf, Tennis to ‘newer’ sports which include Ultimate Frisbee, Sailing, Girls’ Cricket, Skiing, Biathlon, Archery and Girls’ Rugby. What proves to be most popular? Students have loved the opportunity to explore the sport of Ultimate Frisbee. It is a fantastic workout and gets students working within a coed, team environment during competitive matches with a focus on fair play. Those values are important across all of our sports. We see it as important to be a school known not just for being good at sport but also as a school where we are ‘good sports’ – traditional sporting values matter. Do teams get the chance to travel to fixtures/matches both locally and abroad? Students have regular opportunities to represent the school in weekly fixtures and national competitions. While we are a co-educational day school we punch well above our weight and have recently achieved major successes on a National level. In just the last few months, we were the highest ranked co-ed day school at the Inter Girls National Schools Athletics Finals, won one of the Natwest trophy competitions for senior Rugby and enjoyed similar extensive success across our major sports. How can skills developed through participating in sports transfer to other areas of academic life? The RGS community goes well beyond our shores and as a school we have a wide network of Old Reigatians across the world. Our current students have the opportunity to build links across the world through International Sports Tours which give a fantastic opportunity to play sports in foreign environments, meet students from different backgrounds and learn about historical and geographical aspects of the countries they visit; recent tours include Cricket to Dubai, Rugby to South Africa, Girls’ Hockey to Holland and Skiing to France. As a school we have a strong link within the community and this continues to be apparent through sport with our partnership links with Rugby, Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Squash, Tennis and Swimming clubs in the area. For students on an elite sports pathway or for those who just want to be part of a team, RGS sport is a winner. How do you encourage a healthy and active lifestyle? We believe in a multi-sport approach to help students get a wide variety of activities. We help our students find activities which stay with them beyond RGS, as they lead a healthy, active, lifestyle based on good nutrition, sleep and regular physical activity. We use sports psychologists, nutritionists and a strength and conditioning coach amongst our team of well qualified sports staff and professional coaches working as full time Performance Directors. Members of our team include international athletes, commonwealth games competitors, sportsmen who have played regularly at Twickenham and a current netball international – these are just a few of the experiences and expertise that our elite coaches have had and which they use to inspire our students. reigategrammar.org 19 wealdentimes.co.uk
