Sports
Our extra-curricular sport is outstanding, with a wide range of activities on offer and high numbers of students attending clubs on a regular basis, enjoying their sport during lunchtime and after school. Our sports clubs are open to all students, with a focus on developing performance skills, knowledge of rules, building friendships and committing to an activity beyond the classroom.
We have our regular sports clubs and some 'pop-up' activities throughout the year. Beyond this, students may be selected for district, county and regional fixtures, representing King Edward VI School, Lichfield in district sports, leagues and national competitions.
We have built strong relationships with sports clubs within the local community and regularly feed students into the different activities where they have shown an interest.
Sports Timetables
There are clubs at lunchtime and after school. Only badminton club has a numbers limit, for all other sports, please just turn up and we will make the numbers work. Numbers can be high so it can be busy, please be patient with us :-). For badminton, turn up on the half term and Miss Smart will check numbers.
If there is more than one session for a sport, please try and attend both sessions. If this clashes with something else, for example, drama club and rugby, we can hopefully figure something out, please come and talk to us.

Timings
At lunch, you would need to head to the place listed (e.g. bader is the changing rooms by the tennis courts, sports centre the green doors by the lower crossing, pavilion next to q block) at 12.30pm. If lessons are just finishing, please wait to go in but otherwise go straight in and start to get changed. We do not have lots of time so please get there quickly and change as quickly as possible. You just need your school PE kit unless told otherwise. You may need safety equipment, for example, shin pads or gum shield. Do not worry if you do not have everything straight away, we will explain what you need at the club.
Lunchtime - important information: as time is short, we have the following routines for lunchtime practices:
- Bring a packed lunch or get some food from the canteen at break time (some students like to eat at break; others like to eat on their way to afternoon lessons). Do not go without food, please plan with someone at home how you will make sure you have eaten throughout the day.
- After club, you will stay in your PE kit for afternoon lessons. This saves time at the end of lunch.
- Know what lesson and room you are in for period 4, you need to get to this lesson on time. Look at this the night before with someone at home.
We will remind you of this and support you as you get used to our routines.
After school - please make sure someone at home knows you are staying for club. Arrange how you will be getting home. Arrive quickly and get changed! You would go home in kit afterwards.
