Facilities
At our Sports Centre, we provide a range of indoor and outdoor facilities.
Our Sports Centre provides a multi-use 4 court sports hall, a 60 station fitness suite, treatment room and changing facilities. We are also pleased to be able to offer a wide range of services including personal training and fitness classes.
September 2014 marked the completion of our world-class, floodlit outdoor pitches and courts. The new facility provides all-weather playing surfaces for a wide range of sports. This was made possible in part due to a generous bequest from Physics Alumna, Margaret Young.
In addition to the below, we are fortunate to have two grass football pitches, one American Football field, one cricket pitch, eight tennis courts and five netball courts - all on campus.
