In 2012 the 1st XI and U15 XI footballers were both Cheshire Cup winners whilst the senior Rugby Sevens team became the first ever non-selective team to win the Birkenhead School Invitation Sevens and they then went on to win the Plate competition at the Cheshire 7s Tournament.
In 2009/10, the school 1st XV rugby team became the first Cheshire School to win both the Daily Mail Vase (14-3 vs Norwich School) and the Cheshire Cup (28-25 vs Lymm HS).
In 2006–2007, the 1st XV rugby squad became Cheshire county champions beating Lymm High School and reached the 5th round of the Daily Mail Cup. The 1st XI hockey squad reached the final of the Cheshire Cup (beaten by Birkenhead School 2-0; the two sides also met again in the following year's final, Sandbach losing 3–2).
The Orienteering Club were 2008 winners of the Cheshire and Merseyside Schools League.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“It is usual for a Man who loves Country Sports to preserve the Game in his own Grounds, and divert himself upon those that belong to his Neighbour.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“Sweet smiling village, loveliest of the lawn,
Thy sports are fled and all thy charms withdrawn;
Amidst thy bowers the tyrant’s hand is seen,
And desolation saddens all thy green;
One only master grasps the whole domain,
And half a tillage stints thy smiling plain;”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1730?–1774)
“Come, my Celia, let us prove
While we may the sports of love;
Time will not be ours forever,
He at length our good will sever.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
