The Importance and Future of Sport at Grammar

The following video offers a glimpse into the sporting life of Grammar as we plan ahead for the future of sport at the School.

A boy’s sporting experience will help him spin the wheels of that aspirational dynamism which is uniquely Grammar. From the earliest period from the classical world, the Ancient Greeks and the Romans in their footsteps placed the physicality of athletic and sporting competition alongside rhetoric, music, and poetry as integral parts of their life.

In Victorian England sports began to be integrated as educational activities that could build not only young people’s physical prowess but also help them develop self-control and a character animated by discipline and fair play.

Today a Grammar boy is typified by his respect for genuine depth, rigour and unrelenting ambition of our academic programme. Inspirational diversity can be found in music and creative arts, all of which is fundamentally energised by the boys sporting lives here at the School.

For boys at Grammar, those experiences provide avenues for personal and physical growth and create a landscape of opportunity for teamwork, camaraderie, and mutual respect.

This development will ensure that Grammar can educate and inspire boys for the next century across a full range of sports and forms of physical exercise. This includes first class, state-of-the-art, compliant facilities for the sports that our boys love to pursue and facilities for exercise and personal health.
