Sport

Sport provides students with fun and engaging way to stay active, build confidence, and develop social skills. Sports clubs also create a sense of belonging and school spirit, encouraging students to set goals, work hard, and support one another - skills that benefit them both on and off the field.

The Lenham School believes in developing the range of sporting opportunities offered to our young people. Our extra-curricular clubs include Football, Rugby, Badminton and Netball. We are active league participants, running year group teams. In 2025 we had a number of sporting successes, with our Year 10 Boys Football Team winning the Maidstone Cup Final and our Under-16 Girls Football Team also winning the Maidstone Cup Final.

We have Inter-Trust sporting competitions and events from guest speakers, such as UCFB, to Inter-Trust Football and Netball competitions. We also take part in local competitions such as athletics and cross-country.

As a school we have developed close links with Pro-Soccer Academy (PSA) who will be facilitating a Football Academy in our Sixth Form, offering taster sessions to our Year 11 students and running after school coaching for the girls' football team and Year 7 football team.

Our annual Sports Day takes place in the summer term each year with students keen to secure points for their Houses through a range of track and field events.

As well as developing our students' physical skills we also want to develop their Sporting Leadership skills. We have a number of Sport Leaders across a variety of year groups who work with local primary school students in developing their sport skills. As a school we are formalising this process with students being able to achieve a formal Sports Leader Award.
