Although we are a small school, we take sport seriously at Babington House School and compete with remarkable success at the highest levels. We also realise that, for many pupils, sport is simply an enjoyable way to make friends and get fit.


We are lucky to have some extensive playing fields on Elmstead Lane, a very short walk from the school.

We have competitive squads in Netball, Football, Rugby, Athletics, Cross Country, Rounders and Swimming (at the nearby Eric Liddell pool). We also enjoy Rock Climbing, Horse Riding, Trampolining and Tennis.

A small number of pupils compete at the very highest levels in their chosen sport, including internationally. Their parents choose us because we are able to support their demanding training regimes outside school and we make sure they do not fall behind on their studies when they attend competitions.
