The school fields teams in the following sports: rugby, cricket, squash, rowing, football, tennis, netball, hockey and swimming.
Students are separated into different houses; this is where both their prep rooms and common rooms are located. The Preparatory and Senior school houses each have around 300 to 400 pupils.With the exceptions of Collingwood House, a mixed house for day pupils, and Loosley, a mixed sixth form boarding house, the houses are single gender boarding houses. The school holds inter-house competitions, the most significant of which is the annual music competition. Other inter-house activities include drama, debating, public speaking, football, netball, hockey, and rugby.

Famous quotes containing the words senior and/or school:
“I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One’s enough.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The scope of modern government in what it can and ought to accomplish for its people has been widened far beyond the principles laid down by the old “laissez faire” school of political rights, and the widening has met popular approval.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
