Developing a lifelong love of sport and exercise
Sport is an intrinsic part of student life at Berkhamsted. We believe playing and participating in sporting and team events builds our students’ confidence and character, enabling them to develop into motivated and resilient young adults.
We offer a broad range of sports and exercise classes both curricular and extra-curricular. Our students also participate in numerous inter-house sporting events and competitions.
Our team and individual sports have comprehensive weekend and midweek fixture lists, with many students representing the school each week.
Our students are encouraged to participate in a broad range of sports and physical activity within a competitive and supportive environment. They are encouraged to work hard to reach their full potential, improve their performance and strive for excellence.

Why Berkhamsted?
Clearly an academically driven department […] the students get the support and encouragement to find and follow their own path whatever that may be – from setting up their own business or doing an apprenticeship.
Congratulations to our 1VII who finished runners up at the Surrey 7s. The players showed outstanding determination and worked really well as a team. A fantastic achievement with some of the very best schools around on the 7s circuit. We look forward to Rosslyn Park 7s @nextgenxv @berkhamstedschools

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. 💪
