Sporting Electives

Extra Curricular

At the Laurus Trust, our sporting electives and extra-curricular activities are designed to foster participation, build self-confidence, and develop essential skills such as teamwork and leadership. We aim to broaden our students’ horizons and instil a belief that anything is achievable.

All Laurus high schools offer a consistent blend of traditional and innovative sporting electives. As a Trust, we place significant value on experiences beyond the classroom. This commitment is reflected in our ability to engage over 30 specialist coaches across our schools, ensuring our provision is both purposeful and impactful. Our coaching team includes ex-Olympians, world champions, and current professional athletes.

In the last academic year, 94% of our Key Stage 3 students took part in our sporting offer – an impressive figure that stands 44% above the national average.

Fixtures

Our schools field a wide variety of sports teams that compete at local, regional, and national levels, with over 3,000 competitive fixtures held during the previous academic year.

We also hosted 12 varsity events, where Laurus schools competed against each other for trophies, badges, and pride. These fixtures help students feel part of the wider Trust community while enjoying healthy competition.

Sports Tour

Every two years we run a Trust sports tour for students in Years 9 and 10, offering the chance to travel within Europe, experience new cultures, train, and compete against international teams.
