Sport

Sport sits at the heart of life at Lockers Park. Every boy is active every day, developing physical skill, confidence, resilience and a genuine enjoyment of sport. Our approach is simple: participation is for all, excellence is encouraged, and team spirit is celebrated.

The Sporting Year: Football, Rugby and Cricket

Our boys enjoy a varied sporting programme throughout the year. Competitive matches in these sports form an important part of school life. Every week, boys represent Lockers Park in fixtures against other schools. These matches are not only about improving skill; they nurture teamwork, sportsmanship and the chance to engage with other schools.

• Autumn Term – Football: Skill, strategy and teamwork are developed from the first weeks of term.
• Spring Term – Rugby: Boys build strength, discipline and sportsmanship as they progress through the sport.
• Summer Term – Cricket: Cricket has a long and proud tradition at Lockers Park.

Every two years, our senior cricketers take part in an unforgettable cricket tour to South Africa. This tour is a cornerstone of our cricketing tradition, combining high-level competition with cultural experiences that broaden horizons and build lasting memories.

Swimming

Alongside the main sports, boys from Pre-Prep to Year 4 receive weekly swimming lessons, helping them build water confidence and technique from an early age.

Every summer term, we host a swimming gala in our outdoor pool, where boys from Reception to Year 8 compete to win races for their Set (house).

After-School Sporting Opportunities

Beyond the curriculum, a wide range of after-school activities ensures every boy can discover and enjoy new physical challenges. These are constantly evolving but currently include:

• Badminton
• Cricket Nets
• Fencing
• Golf
• Martial Arts
• Skiing at the local Hemel Hempstead Snow Centre, with an annual European ski trip
• Squash
• Table Tennis

There truly is something for every interest and ability. We are proud that the sports that our boys play in their after school activities lead on to competition in national tournaments and championships. We regularly enter teams in swimming, squash and skiing events.

Set Athletics Competition

In the summer term, the Set Athletics competition is a major event in the school calendar. Coaching focuses on technique, stamina and personal achievement, with the event bringing the whole school and parents together.
