The Leys Sporting Programme The purpose of the sporting programme at The Leys is to support and deliver the mission, aims and pathway of the department so that those representing the school are able to enjoy their sport, seek excellence in their chosen field and maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. This is also reflected in the philosophies that underpin the programme and help to nurture and develop each individual in their time at The Leys. High quality coaching and first class facilities are a key element of sport at The Leys. Central to our sporting programme is a team sports ethos that provides opportunities to represent the school while promoting leadership skills, social interaction and a healthy lifestyle. In conjunction with this programme we run the Leys Sports Academy which caters to the sporting, pastoral and academic needs of our most able athletes. It is the school policy that each pupil does games three times a week. The core sports have priority in terms of selection across all year groups. In year 9 and above there may be some flexibility if the pupil is not selected for a school team squad for that term.
