Sports Clubs and Fixtures

Sport in all forms is incredibly popular and successful at Crestwood and we are extremely fortunate in having our own swimming pool and 4G pitch and playing fields. Whatever their level of ability students are encouraged to participate both competitively and socially.

As well as traditional sports including hockey, rugby, football, cricket, netball and basketball, students are provided with increasing opportunities to add to their experiences with new activities. Numerous clubs complement the core provision and these allow students to take part in an even wider range of activities. They become more proficient and skilled by receiving extra coaching and learn to become umpires, referees and coaches themselves. Students are encouraged to develop their performance to the highest level and many go on to achieve Borough, County and even National status. Year 10/11 students have the opportunity to gain a BTEC First Award in Sport and Year 10 students can begin to work towards the Junior Sports Leader Award. This supports students in developing leadership and coaching skills across a range of sports and activities.

We are proud that as of September 2016 we became a member of the Rugby Football Union – All Schools Programme. This means that the RFU has supported us with £10,000 worth of funding to upgrade our equipment; also offering expert specialised coaching for our students and allow our fantastic PE team to attend RFU Coach Education courses. As the 3-year program has drawn to a close, we now have school teams represented in local festivals and provided a pathway for our students to local clubs. During the 3year project our students have been invited to Twickenham to experience world class rugby in person we have also been invited to Canterbury’s HQ (official kit supplier to Rugby Football Union) to design our very own school kit! The legacy of this programme is that Rugby has emerged as a sport whereby student have opportunity to develop and learn at Crestwood before being connected to local teams should they have the aptitude and commitment.

We also have Sports Academies for 6th form students so a clear pathway exists for students to study at Crestwood and represent Invictus in Football, Rugby or Netball, with specialist coaching and fixtures in each sport.

All of the lessons and team activities are complimented by our truly outstanding facilities which comprise of:

· State of the art floodlit 4G pitch.

· 12 acre sports field, home to our football, hockey and rugby pitches.

· 3 outdoor tennis courts.

· Fully equipped sports centre.

· Newly refurbished gymnasium.

· Newly refurbished swimming pool.

· 4 indoor cricket nets.

· 2 trampolines.

· 15 outdoor and 4 indoor table tennis tables.

· 4 badminton courts.

· Grass running track.

· Golf range and nets.

· Outdoor Cricket nets

We ensure that all students have lots of opportunities to compete in a variety of sports, we have teams that participate in local school leagues during the respective seasons. We are also invited to numerous sports festivals throughout the school year, whatever the sport the enthusiasm amongst students is such that we are always able to organise teams to represent the school.
