In the Autumn and Spring Terms we focus on invasion games; primarily rugby, hockey, netball and football. With pupils representing Mowden Hall at numerous festivals and in inter-School fixtures across the North East and Cumbria. In the summer, striking and fielding team games take centre stage, as our pupils predominantly play cricket, with rounders also taught.
Across the year pupils also received regular coaching, and competitive opportunities, in cross country running, swimming, tennis and athletic Mowden Hall School now has an all-weather sports pitch in order to enhance the existing facilities. This will ensure that all of our pupils have access to an excellent standard of sporting facilities throughout the year.
As well as competitive team sports, the Sports Department promotes a sport-for-all attitude, actively including those pupils who consider themselves to be less athletic and ensuring they also have the opportunity to represent the school and develop their potential. The department isalso conscious of the contribution it can make to the local sporting community. This partnership is seen most obviously in the shared use with Newton Cricket Club and the large number of pupils who play for local cricket clubs, Tynedale Rugby Club and have represented the county and region for both sports.

Physical Education and Games seeks to offer opportunities for children to:
Boys’ and girls’ teams compete regularly, and Mowden has an excellent record in inter-school matches.
Matches are generally played on Wednesdays and Saturdays throughout the school year, with other mid-week matches from time to time. We value games highly as we believe sport encourages confidence, builds self-esteem, teamwork and a sense of fair play, as well as helping to develop the full physical potential of each child, for this reason we promote full participation in as many fixtures as possible.
