The Huish Sport Ethos               

Sport for All 

We endeavour to offer the opportunity for students to train and compete at their level, from complete beginners trying out new sport, to sporting excellence in National competition.

Huish Sport as an educational enhancer

Huish Sport is a fantastic enrichment opportunity at the college which is scheduled into students’ timetables to compliment their academic studies, not interfere with them. Huish Sport is identified by 100’s of students as a key factor in their enjoyment of their time at college, providing a fantastic opportunity to stay fit, socialise and have fun alongside side their academic courses. An expectation of all students competing for the college is high levels of attendance and performance in their academic studies. If students are not attending lessons, or falling behind with work, they will be withdrawn from their sport until their academic performance improves.

Commitment, sportsmanship and fair play

Students enrolling into the Huish sport programme are required to have high standards of personal reliability and commitment to their sport, with high standards of behaviour expected at all times.

High quality coaching staff

Huish Sport’s status is built on the fantastic reputation of its highly qualified, experienced and competent coaching staff, whose commitment to, and promotion of, the Huish Sport ethos, help not only to give students an extremely enjoyable experience in their sport, but also dramatically improve their playing ability during their time at college.
