hockey and golf, as well as swimming, tennis and rounders during the summer. Prior to year 9, students partake in sports including rugby, basketball, hockey and football and athletics, rounders and swimming in the summer term but have no choice over which activity occurs at any point. Outdoor education As a subsidiary to sport, outdoor education (or simply 'outdoor-ed') is compulsory for all students between year 7 and year 11. Different from sport in that it does not stress athletic qualities, instead it encourages teamwork, co-operation, individual courage and leadership, ideals which reflect the school's ethos. Outdoor ed typically involves team-building activities in the woods including activities such as climbing 'Jacob's Ladder' and a high ropes challenge near the Sports Hall. The school runs regular Outdoor Education trips to places such as a climbing trip to Dartmoor and to Harrison's Rocks in Kent. The school also runs the Duke of Edinburgh award at all levels. The school has recently introduced weekly Forest Schools sessions for all pupils in the First School; Nursery to Year Three.
