The KEHS Sports Department

Sport plays a very important part in school life and the school aims to provide excellence and high levels of participation for all: our best teams compete at national level, but it is important to us that our curriculum sport is inclusive and our extra curricular activities are a place where the girls can flourish.

The school has outstanding outdoor facilities: 5 netball courts, 7 tennis courts, a grass field for football, rounders and athletics as well as two all weather hockey pitches.
