Sedbergh School

Facilities

Sedbergh School is a Christian foundation and Chapel is part and parcel of the weekly life of the School, with the Chaplain playing a key role in providing pastoral support to pupils. Music is important at at Sedbergh. Each year a musical is staged involving virtually all the pupils and there are various Choirs, ensembles, a Swing Band and a Brass Band. We offer a wide variety of dramatic activities including whole-school plays, film projects, year-group productions, workshops, radio plays, theatre trips, Drama competitions and a well-developed tradition of House plays. Sedbergh is the only school in the world that is allowed to use the Millennium Products logo, a reflection of the enthusiasm and expertise of our Design and Technology team and the achievements of our past pupils.

Sedbergh School has an international reputation for its sporting achievements and the School also takes great pride in offering a broad range of sporting opportunities for all pupils, whatever their aptitudes and abilities. For boys, in addition to the main sports of rugby, rugby sevens, hockey and cricket, boys have the opportunity to pursue athletics, sailing, shooting, squash, badminton, basketball, cross-country, mountain-biking, fives, swimming, tennis and golf. For girls the main sports are netball, hockey, athletics and tennis, with extra opportunities to pursue aerobics, badminton, ballet, climbing, cross-country running, dance, fencing, gym, horse riding, sailing, shooting, soccer and swimming. Sedbergh also has an equestrian team. Facilities include Five courts, gym, shooting range, 16 tennis courts, outstanding cricket pitch. Sedbergh School 1st XV rugby team has recently won the Daily Mail 15-a-side League, the Rosslyn Park National Schools Rugby Sevens Championship and the Army Super-Tens National Championship making it the Number 1 school for rugby. In June 2018, Sedbergh will open a brand new £6million sports centre.

Sedbergh School provides specialist English as an Additional Language (EAL) teaching to international pupils who require tuition to improve their English. Our Special Needs Department works across the school to ensure that all pupils receive the support that they need for effective learning and maximum development. Where a particular need is identified, specialist teaching is given, usually on a one-to-one basis eg. dyslexia and associated literacy difficulties. Extra support on Mathematics and English is also available.

The magnificent location of Sedbergh gives opportunities for many outdoor activities from a walk in the hills to mountain biking, or the calm of fishing to the challenge of kayaking. Pupils are encouraged to participate in CCF and the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Our pastoral care is second to none and the successful House system fosters a caring environment, and creates smaller, tight-knit, cross-year communities within the School. Sedbergh has nine senior Houses in total: six for boys and three for girls. Each House has its own library (in addition to the School Library), common rooms, computer suite and dining room, enabling pupils to study, socialise and dine in their House as well as sleep. Uniquely, we also have an in-house health centre with our own doctor, nurses and physiotherapist.
