Sport at BGS

Bangor Grammar School has long been recognised for the very high standard of provision for Physical Education and Sport.

In Physical Education we aim to provide an enjoyable and satisfying programme, with opportunities for every pupil to develop physically, socially, emotionally and cognitively. The Physical Education Curriculum offers a comprehensive range of learning experiences to meet the needs of individual pupils and encourages active involvement by all as performers, observers and officials.

A large number of dedicated staff provide expert and enthusiastic teaching in a wide variety of sports. The Clarke Hall provides good indoor facilities on campus. The school playing fields are situated at Ballymacormick. Use is also made of the hockey and athletic facilities at Ballykillaire, the Bangor Leisure Centre, Ward Park, Kingsland and local Golf Clubs.

Sports offered in the extra-curriculum programme include Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Cricket, Cross-Country, Golf, Hockey, Rugby, Soccer, Sailing, Squash, Swimming, Table-Tennis and Tennis.

Whilst talented boys are encouraged to aim for the highest peak of achievement, the overriding aim is that boys should enjoy their sport and benefit from it.
