Sport at Judd

Sports are an integral part of the Judd school’s ethos and is an ever developing area.

Alongside the PE and Games curriculum, throughout each term in school there is a wide variety of sports available to students, of which many have a reputation regionally and nationally for success. This is supplemented with daily clubs and practices available to students at lunch times and after school. We also compete in regular Saturday fixtures against nearby schools in Rugby, Football and Cricket along as well as entry to county and national competitions throughout the year.

Our aim for elite performance is underpinned by mass participation, which allows us to regularly field up A-F (and sometimes beyond) level teams in the lower years to play competitive sport. 

The main sports available throughout each term are as follows:

Autumn Term: Rugby, Cross Country

Spring Term: Football, Rugby VIIs

Summer Term: Cricket, Athletics

We also have regular competitive fixtures for our senior girls in netball and rugby, as well as providing badminton, basketball and tennis fixtures. For any information regarding specific sports please see the links provided.

First Aid

In all sports, we understand that safety is the top priority. With this in mind, all Games and PE staff are first aid trained through the Red Cross.

We follow AfPE’s PESSPA guidance in all sports which are covered.

During our Saturday rugby fixtures we are able to provide medical cover at Vizards for injuries that can occur. 

Our concussion protocol follows UK government guidelines (UK Concussion Guidelines for Grassroots Non-Elite Sport) with graded return to sport over a 21 day period from the incident occurring.
