Sport
Sport plays a large role at the New Beacon with teams ranging from Under 9 Es to the 1st XV. School colours are awarded for different teams above Colts B level. The School's 1st XV rugby team wear a red, gold and blue striped jersey. After playing for a season at 1st XV level, the members are allowed to keep their shirts. Boys who score a half century or a hat trick in cricket receive a cricket ball in chapel. Anyone who scores a century receives a cricket bat on Open day.

To drive away the heavy thought of care?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The sport of digging the bait is nearly equal to that of catching the fish, when one’s appetite is not too keen.”
