Athletics

Athletics is a Summer Term sports option at St Edward’s, available to boys and girls across all year groups.

Taking part in Athletics builds a range of skills and competencies, enabling pupils to set and achieve their own goals.

During the summer season we have a full fixtures list, with our athletes competing against pupils from schools such as Harrow, Marlborough, Radley and Brighton College. We enter pupils into City and County Championships each year and take part in the Achilles Relays. In recent years pupils have qualified for the National School Championships across several events.

Training takes place at the nearby Iffley Road Sports Centre, which includes the Sir Roger Bannister Running Track, a competition standard 400m track where the first sub-4 minute mile was run by Sir Roger Bannister in 1954. Other facilities include an infield for throws (shot, javelin, discus and hammer), and an area for long jump, triple jump and high jump. Coaches with sprint and distance running, throwing and jumping expertise are available to get the best from all pupils.
