Sport plays a very important part in the life of the students at St Christopher’s.  Please take the time to see what we get up to.

Introduction
Students follow a structured introduction to individual and team sports both within the curriculum and as extra-curricular activities to encourage healthy lifestyles and a lifelong love of sport.

We aim to provide a wide range of sporting activities which provide opportunities for students to:

  • take part in fun, recreational activities as part of their personal and physical development;
  • represent their House on Sports Day or in the Swimming Gala;
  • be part of a School team; or
  • develop their individual and teamwork skills through international competitions.

Extra-curricular
Our extra-curricular sporting activities are wide and varied. Children have the opportunity to be involved in activities ranging from Basketball to Badminton, Table Tennis to Trampolining, Sailing to Scuba Diving and Horse Riding to Hockey.

House Events
Our annual Swimming Galas and Sports Days bring together students in a spirit of friendly competition. The atmosphere at these events is wonderful and all who compete do so with great commitment and outstanding sportsmanship. The level of support the students have for each other is a joy to observe, whether it is for a student breaking a school record or one just managing to finish a grueling race after giving their all.

Overseas Trips
Our numerous overseas trips offer our students the opportunity to compete as part of a team at a high level on the international stage and, at the same time, they bring together students from different schools, ages and nationalities. In addition to our annual Ski Trips and Gulf-based sporting tournaments, The British Schools in the Middle East (BSME) organises numerous annual events including Volleyball, Netball, Football and Rugby tournaments, and Swimming Galas. The prestigious BSME Games, started by St Christopher’s, is an excellent team event in which our young sportsmen and sportswomen are able to demonstrate their skills in a wide range of sports.
