City Sports

Even though the School is situated in the heart of the City of London, sport is still a very important part of school life. The School strives to offer sporting opportunities for all students and offers many, diverse sporting opportunities.  There are selective squads that compete in fixtures and tournaments.   However, girls do not need to have prodigious skills to participate in our other non-selective teams and clubs, which give everyone the opportunity to try something new. There is also a wide range of inter-house competitions within the school and you don't have to be a prodigy to take part.

Gymnastics

City's gymnasts can be seen during lunchtime training sessions tumbling through the air and perfecting team routines in the school's fully equipped gym. This energetic group have enjoyed success at various regional meets throughout 2008-9.

Swimming, Diving and Water Polo

Girls of all ages take full advantage of the indoor swimming pool. There are lunchtime swim clinics which enable girls to focus on improving their technique and times. Girls compete in the inter-house swimming competition as well as inter-school events, such as the London Schools Swimming Gala and the National Bazuka Competition.

Netball

Netball is one of the most popular sports at City. Students practice during lunch times in the gymnasium and on the outside sporting pitch (weather permitting). The girls have enjoyed playing against other schools, with considerable success.

Fencing
Fencing is an increasingly popular sport at City. While it may look like a sport based on speed and skill alone, it is also surprisingly psychological. The girls, who train to practice their technique and strategy during their lunch breaks, have been enjoying success in regional, national and international competitions.


Running
Girls who participate in City's running programme enjoy the varied drills and challenge themselves to better personal best records.  Girls have the opportunity to participate in the prestigious London Mini Marathon and the London Schools Cross Country Championships.


Cheerleading Club
Cheerleading Club is a new phenomena at City.  Run by an external company called Cheervision, it is very popular with the girls who learn how to dance, stunt and tumble.  There are now prep and a senior school teams and the senior school cheerleading team competed in their first competition in February.
