Pupils are encouraged to participate in as wide a variety of sports as possible and to develop a love for competing, doing one’s best, winning or losing well and everything that goes with team participation (working together, achieving a common goal, camaraderie, working through differences and celebrating each other’s highs and lows). Treverton offers a beautiful setting with wide open spaces to get involved and experience all the exciting opportunities that are on offer.
