At Bishop’s, we are committed to ensuring our pupils develop sporting skills at the appropriate level and have a positive attitude towards sport and physical activity for life. The pupils at Bishop’s have access to superb coaching provision and we are looking to build upon this by providing them with the enhanced facilities that they need to play and train all year-round. Our PITCH IN campaign has been launched to raise funds to build an all-weather surface and cricket facilities at the Britford Lane sports ground.
We have not upgraded our sports facilities since the addition of the Sports Hall in 2004, yet an increase in pupil numbers has resulted in the wear and tear of our playing fields at Britford Lane and there is currently not enough indoor space to facilitate the varied sporting programme. An all-weather surface will allow our pupils to have enjoyment and benefit from exercise on a surface which can be used throughout the year. Being able to host several different PE activities on one area will have big space saving benefits for the school whilst extending the programme of sports which we can offer. We will also have the added benefit of the opportunity for opening the facility to local community groups such as sports clubs, summer sports camps providers and primary schools.
