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.

A great end to the season with the 1st XI playing their final match for the school vs @oldberkhamstedians 
Some real talent was on show at Chesham Road with the Old Boys getting revenge for their loss last year, winning the game 3-1. Very much looking forward to next year already. @berkhamstedsixth @berkhamstedschools #teamberko
