The main sports for the girls are hockey, netball and tennis. Boys play rugby, hockey and cricket. Hockey is very strong at Scarborough College and we are one of the top hockey schools in the North of England. We encourage pupils to get involved in and play sports other than the main school sports. To complement our Cricket Centre of Excellence, we are in the process of setting up a Centre of Excellence for golf.

    Boarding at Scarborough College is a blend of traditional values and modern living. We have four boarding houses, all are historical buildings dating back to the Georgian and Victorian periods. There are special boarders’ activities every Sunday, which include day trips to York, cinema trips and outdoor activities.

    Our Enrichment Programme and Yorkshire Grit, together with the Duke of Edinburgh Award, are inclusive and timetabled co-curricular activities that both day and boarding pupils enjoy.
