Physical Education

The philosophy of Physical Education at Hutchesons' is that every pupil should have the opportunity and the motivation to participate in and enjoy as wide a variety of sporting activities as possible.

In the core physical education classes from S1 to S5, pupils learn about discipline, teamwork, co-operation and individual responsibility while also learning the importance of physical exercise to a well-balanced approach to life.  

Inter- School competition also plays a central part in what we do, allowing pupils to participate in team competitions against other schools in Rugby, Hockey, Cricket, Athletics, Swimming, Football, Cross-country running and Tennis.  Hundreds of pupils from P6 to S6 are involved regularly in Saturday mornings throughout the Autumn and Spring Terms in one or other of our 16 rugby or 20 Hockey teams as well as many others in inter-school matches in all of our other sports.  Pupils from the school are encouraged to participate and perform to the highest level of which they are capable, with many winning medals and similar honours at very high levels.
