Games is an important part of life at CPS. Boys play rugby, soccer and cricket whilst girls play hockey, netball and rounders. All children take part in gymnastics, athletics, cross country and tennis. From Year 3, all children have a swimming lesson once a week at a local swimming pool. School teams enjoy an extensive fixture list against other local schools; teams compete at district, regional and national level. The acquisition of a sports hall, together with the all-weather pitch, has enabled the department to develop and to increase significantly the range of sports offered, not only on the school curriculum but also within the extra-curricular provision.
