Specific information regarding dates, locations and timings of all fixtures and tournaments, as well as league results and standings can be accessed by visiting our sports website here. Did you know you can sync your child’s sports team calendar to your own using the Download to Your Calendar option for each sports team? Look for this button next time you are searching your child's sports team. Using this feature, all changes and updates will automatically update on your calendar.

Weekly Communication

Each week in the Explorer newsletter and on the student VLE called Ding!, we release a Weekly Sports Bulletin which has a summary of the week ahead for all sports training and fixtures. We endeavour to communicate as early as possible via our Sports Fixture Website, however, with so many changes due to facilities, staffing, weather and opposing schools, the Cobra Sports programme must be dynamic in order to provide the best opportunities for our students. The Weekly Sports Bulletin is a great tool to stay on top of all the changes that are happening
