Sport
Developing character and resilience – good for the mind, body and spirit.
More than just sport
Sport has numerous benefits for the pupils at Berkhamsted Boys. As well as recognised health benefits, sport also has emotional and social benefits and is also linked to improved academic performance.
Sport enables our boys to develop a success 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.

Specialist Sport Teachers
The Berkhamsted PE Department consists of specialist teachers. We provide expert teaching and coaching, before, during and after school. To assist this programme the school employs a number of external coaches to support our major and minor sport programmes.
My Journey
In Year 11 Freddie suffered a broken finger just as the cricket season was about to begin. With rigorous training in the nets and exceptional support from staff, Freddie recovered to have a remarkable season with the 1st XI.

A wonderful festival of sport for so many girls this weekend! Hosting the annual U11 Netball tournament for our girls and lots of our friends from local schools is a highlight of our year! Watching our older pupils interact with and lead our younger pupils within sport is one of the biggest benefits of being a part of the Berkhamsted sporting journey, from the age of 3 all the way through to 18! @berkhamstedprep @berkhamstedsixth

😱Have you ever seen drama like this?
🏉 Last Wednesday’s rugby match between Berkhamsted 1st XV and Denstone College @StoneXstadium was certainly exciting!
After a strong start, it seemed like Berkhamsted had run away with the game, but Denstone College came back with a vengeance in the second half, taking the lead 36-34. 😮💥
Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, Douglas from Berkhamsted pulled off the most epic try in the final seconds of the match! 🙌🔥 The team erupted in celebration, but wait…😳 The referee didn`t give the green light because he claimed he couldn`t see the try-line clearly. Talk about a cliffhanger ending! 🤷♂️
Captain Sam, our calm skipper, noticed that the photographer was right there, capturing the moment. 📸✨He decided to speak up and ask if the photo could provide some clarity.
This changed the ref’s decision and he allowed the try, giving Berkhamsted the win 39-36.
Watch til the end to see the photographic evidence!
It was a nail-biting game! Well played to both teams for a great match.

Partnership Update – It was our pleasure to host the @ace.programme at school in August for their week long residential training camp. Amongst the coaching staff was legendary @windiescricket fast bowler Courtney Walsh who can be seen turning his arm over in the Chesham Road nets.
The residential camp was part of our ongoing partnership which includes fixtures against ACE male and female teams and our T20 Day involving @hertscricket & @buckscricket.official
ACE is a charity which was created to arrest the decline in black British cricketers within the professional and grassroots game, and one which we are very proud to support. For more information go to @ace.programme #TeamBerko #ACE
