Physical Education

All of our pupils are taught by our specialist Teacher of Physical Education. Our spacious school hall is well equipped for Gymnastics and indoor games. Children are entered for the British Amateur Gymnastics Association awards. The juniors are fortunate to have their own netball/tennis court and are able to make use of the Senior School’s Sports field.

The grounds are used for cross-country runs, athletics, rounders, football and cricket. Each year the children compete with other schools at football, netball and cricket and we enter a team each year in the Southern Counties Cross-country Race and the Independent Schools’ Cross-country Championships.

Our Year 6 pupils attend the Citizenship Activity Course, run by Croydon Police and learn much about personal safety.

We are very fortunate at Virgo Fidelis to be so close to Crystal Palace Sports Centre. All the children from Year 2 upwards take weekly swimming lessons there and work towards the Amateur Swimming Association’s awards. Swimming Teams from the school compete with local independent schools and take part in the Croydon Schools’ and Independent Schools’ Galas.
