PE and Sports

Voluntary contribution 

At HGS, we want to give students the opportunity to participate in a wide range of sports. However, there is a financial cost associated with this. We politely ask parents for a one-off voluntary contribution of £30 (or more if you feel able) per child. This covers the whole academic year and will help fund: 

• transport costs 
• referees and officials 
• tournament entry fees 
• the purchase new sporting equipment and kit  
• external coaches to complement the activities and teams already run by HGS staff.  

Without the help of parents, we would not be able to provide the extensive range of extra-curricular sporting opportunities for your child.

This contribution can be paid for using 

ScoPay in the PE voluntary contribution section.

Fixture Selection   

Selection will be based on the strengths and merits of our players as well as the opposition. Attendance to training, academic progress and behaviour will also be considered when selecting students to represent the school. Therefore, selection may not always contain the strongest players. 

Teams will be selected in advance of the fixtures to allow as much notice as possible and confirmation of selection will be emailed to students. Parents will not be notified directly if their child has been selected for a particular fixture, as we want our students to take responsibility to ensure that they are available to play and to arrange alternative transport if the fixture goes beyond the normal school day. However, we will shortly be launching our new Parent Portal, which will allow you to see which clubs your child has signed up for and the details of any fixtures they have been selected to play in. You will also be asked to consent to your child taking part in fixtures and extra-curricular activities. Fixtures will also be listed in the parent bulletin each week.
