Our students are extended the chance to compete locally, regionally and nationally.

"Being at King’s Ely has given our son the confidence and independence to take on new challenges and ultimately pursue his passion to study and play golf in America."
Mr and Mrs Neat

We believe that all students should enjoy a wide a range of sporting experiences, whilst at the same time making the most of opportunities to excel.

As well as embracing the sports of rugby, football, hockey, netball and cricket, we also offer swimming, cross country, shooting, basketball, badminton, archery, Tennis, Dance, Yoga, Golf, Clay Pigeon Shooting and rowing. 

We support our students in the sports they pursue outside school, with many going on to represent their counties, regions, and, in some cases, their country.
