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. Our indoor facilities are of a similar high standard, boasting a large sports hall, a dance studio, a fully equipped fitness suite and an indoor swimming pool.

The PE department currently consists of three full-time members of staff, all of whom have played sport at a high level, a PE Assistant and several part-time professional coaches.
