Director of Sport: Mr R Thomas (email)
In the early years, particular emphasis is placed on the boys' enjoyment of and participation in a wide range of physical activities, as specialist coaches help them to develop the necessary skills required for the sports available.
Rugby is played in the Autumn, together with a wide range of other sports which take place in the sports hall. Football in the Spring is followed by Cricket and Athletics in the Summer. Boys swim all year round and pupils enjoy regular swimming lessons in our indoor pool.
Central to the approach to sport at Davenies is our dedication to teamwork and fitness. Boys are encouraged to work together for a common aim and are taught the importance of winning with grace and losing with dignity. They are also taught the benefits to health that daily exercise provides.
Regardless of ability, all boys receive equal encouragement and have the opportunity to take part in all the sports on offer. Many matches are played against local schools, when all pupils are given the chance to compete against teams of a similar strength.
