Leweston has pupils competing at a regional, national and international level in a wide variety of sports and supports those on elite pathways.
All pupils are expected to participate in physical recreation during the week and sports fixtures where appropriate. Fixtures may take place after school or on Saturday afternoons, they are published on the Portal with team lists posted in good time. When selected for a school team it is expected that pupils honour that commitment. If a pupil is not able to participate in a match because of a prior engagement they should inform their coach at least two weeks in advance.
Pupils participating in matches are expected to attend post-match teas and host visiting teams. Parent teas are provided at home fixtures. Pupils should travel in either school uniform or the school tracksuit to and from fixtures.
