Developing a lifelong love of sport and exercise
More than just sport
Sport has numerous benefits for the pupils at Berkhamsted Boys. As well as recognised health benefits, sport has emotional and social benefits and is also linked to improved academic performance.
Sport enables our boys to develop a growth mindset – encouraging them to be adventurous and motivated, compassionate and resilient – which all helps them develop into remarkable young men.
The impact of school-based sport will never leave the boys, building confidence, developing character and encouraging lifelong participation.

Strive for Excellence
Pupils at Berkhamsted Boys are encouraged to participate in a broad range of sports and physical activity within a competitive and supportive environment. Good sportsmanship is taught so that the boys learn to be compassionate to their opposition while also taking any loss as an opportunity to learn.
They are encouraged to work hard to reach their full potential, improve their performance and strive for excellence.

Community Partnerships
We were delighted to invite coaches from Oxford University Rugby Club to give pupils from Prep, Senior and Sixth a rugby training session.

An historic step – The senior girl’s cricket squad have just returned from their pre-season trip to La Manga, Spain. The first ever girls cricket tour.
The five day trip saw the girls play in the La Manga Women’s T20 Classic tournament. They played four group games, including victories against Streatham & Marlborough CC, Switzerland and Spain, before meeting Hursley Park CC in the final. With Hursley Park 97/4 off 13.1 overs, rain meant the game was abandoned and trophy shared, whilst captain Amelia also brought home the bowling award for the most wickets in the tournament (10 @ 5.0).
Thank you to everyone @lmtccspain & @teamtravelmanagement for a great week.

Staff Training with Tamsin Greenway! 🏐
This week, our sports staff had the incredible opportunity to learn from former @englandnetball player and @ldnmavericksnetball Director of Netball, @tamsingreenway !
Tamsin led an engaging CPD session at our Knox-Johnston Sports Centre, putting our teachers through their paces with drills and games designed to enhance netball performance. But it wasn’t just about netball—our staff developed transferable skills in movement, space awareness, communication, and coordination, benefitting all sports across our curriculum.
A huge thank you to Tamsin for sharing her expertise! 👏 Our partnership with @ldnmavericksnetball is invaluable in supporting both our staff and pupils, inspiring future athletes and growing confidence in sport. 💪
