TRANSPORTATION TO FIXTURES We always encourage parents to transport their own children to fixtures, so that they can stay to support. However transportation, both outgoing and return, will be provided by the school for all midweek and weekend fixtures at opposing schools. For weekend fixtures, parents are required to complete the transport booking information on SOCS by the Wednesday prior to fixtures by 4.00pm. We require confirmation and consent if your child will be travelling on the school coaches to and from fixtures on a Saturday.
CONSENT AND TRAVEL When you are logged into SOCS (via Firefly/parent portal), you will be able to specify if your child is available for the fixture and that you give consent for your child to take part. You should navigate to the fixture via the calendar. Select the correct date and click on the relevant fixture. Once in the fixture you will be able to select the red 'submit consent/travel info' button. Note this will be available when team sheets have been published. You will notice the red 'consent' button turning green once you have successfully completed your submission, providing a clear visual confirmation that consent has been granted for your child.

CURRICULUM PE LESSONS In the core physical education lessons, pupils in Year 7 have two PE lessons a week. They rotate through different games and fitness activities introducing tennis and fitness concepts, as well as the more creative activities of dance and gymnastics. All these activities are aimed at giving the pupils an all-round experience of the characteristics required for sport as well as an understanding of fitness for life. Each activity will aim to improve pupils’ physical capabilities, as well as specifically improving their social, personal and cognitive skills within sporting contexts. Pupils will be required to wear their full PE kit for all lessons. Pupils will be informed of their activity and specific kit requirements at the start of each half term.

RUGBY Rugby Union is the major sport for boys during the autumn term. The programme is developing to meet the guidance and best practice currently defined by the RFU, professional clubs and research. We are proud to field multiple teams across year groups as well as provide playing opportunities to suit the level of contact appropriate for pupils. The school participates in a well-balanced weekend fixture list, coupled with additional competitive opportunities through the competitions. Our Rugby Sevens programme runs across the spring term, with squads entered into school festivals, Surrey tournaments and the prestigious Rosslyn Park National 7’s. Games and training sessions are designed for players to develop core skills and tactical understanding of the game in a safe and controlled manner as dictated by our coaches and teaching staff.

LACROSSE Lacrosse at Claremont is becoming increasingly successful. History was made this year as we entered 6 teams into the Nationals (the most ever) with the 2nd’s and 15B’s entering for the first year ever. With all Nationals A teams coming in the top 16 this year and one team reaching the National final. It is a competitive sport at the school that will be new to all pupils in Year 7 so we recommend giving it a go! Matches are played every Saturday during the autumn and winter terms, playing different schools each week to participate in competitive and fun matches. Each week we have up to 12 teams participating in fixtures.
Lacrosse kit requirements

TENNIS Our tennis training programme operates year-round, ensuring that pupils have ample opportunities to hone skills and enjoy the game. With different age groups catered to on specific nights, it’s the perfect environment to thrive and improve your game. We proudly compete in the prestigious LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) and Surrey Leagues, showcasing our talent and sportsmanship on a competitive stage. From thrilling matches to intense rivalries, our league participation adds an exciting dimension to our tennis community. Claremont are delighted to partner with Esher Tennis Club who deliver a comprehensive tennis programme for all ages and abilities, from early years pupils starting out to sixth form players competing at a high level. The provision runs throughout the school day, with before-school clubs, curriculum coaching, lunchtime individual lessons and after-school sessions. With a structured and inclusive approach, every pupil can enjoy, develop, and progress in tennis within their own school environment. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to active lifestyles, skill development, and a lasting enjoyment of sport across the school community.

NETBALL At Claremont, the netball season spans both the autumn and spring terms. Students are provided with ample opportunities to engage in netball, with sessions available during lunchtime as well as after-school practices and games lessons. There are many opportunities for friendly competitions: we enter Surrey netball, National Schools and Sisters In Sports Cup. We play matches against nearby schools during our after-school practices, plus, everyone gets in on the action during the games afternoon lessons when the whole year group is involved. The vision and ethos behind entering these competitions is to provide more opportunities for girls to engage with and participate in meaningful, competitive sport. We believe this is where they fall in love with the game, create lifelong memories with their teammates and build a relationship with sport that will mean they continue to play after they leave school.
FOOTBALL We run an extensive programme for football here at Claremont in both the spring and autumn term. In the autumn we train weekly to prepare for the National ISFA and ESFA Schools competitions at U13, U15 and U18. We have lots of talented performers who are put forward to trial for ISFA representative teams where we have been well represented over the years. • ISFA - https://www.isfa.org.uk/ • ESFA - http://www.esfa.co.uk/competitions/ • Representative football - https://www.isfa.org.uk/representative-football Throughout the spring term we have 14 teams playing on a weekly basis with blocks on Saturdays for pupils at U12U15 and four senior teams playing in a U16-18 Super 8 league every Wednesday. We are incredibly proud to get over 200 pupils playing football every week at school. Girls football is growing rapidly and we are extremely competitive against local and National opposition. We run training weekly for the girls to develop their skills and we also play in U13, U15 and U18 competitions. Last year saw us put out our first ever U18 girls teams which was a huge achievement and enjoyed thoroughly by all involved.

GYMNASTICS The gymnastics programme runs throughout the autumn and spring terms. At Claremont, our gymnastics classes and clubs are designed to cater to athletes of all levels, from beginners to advanced. We believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where every gymnast can thrive and reach their full potential. We focus mainly on floor, vault and tumbling, with opportunities to perform and compete in all three. We are proud to participate in several competitions throughout the year, including: ISGA (Independent Schools Gymnastics Association): ISGA competitions offer a platform for gymnasts to showcase their talents and compete against peers from across the country. We compete nationally in the ISGA 2 and 4 piece. Surrey Gymnastics Competitions: These competitions are organised by the Surrey Gymnastics Association and provide an opportunity for gymnasts to compete at the county level, representing Claremont against other local schools within the area. Friendly and Novice Competitions : In addition to formal competitions, we also participate in fun, inclusive displays and competitions. These events allow gymnasts to gain valuable experience in a less competitive environment.
ARCHERY Pupils have a chance to try their hand at archery during every term, they can experience two different types of archery, sighted recurve and the more instinctive bearbow. No previous knowledge is required, we have all the equipment and expert coaches to help pupils try archery. When the archer is ready, we will encourage them to take part in external competitions against junior archers from other archery clubs. To date the school has had a high degree of success at competition level.

GOLF The school’s golf team has been competing successfully for the past few years but now the aim is to expand both our provision and number of players. Currently, we compete in Schools Golf and ISGA tournaments, where we have once again qualifi ed for the final weekend. Our golf season tees off in autumn, pauses briefly in winter, and then swings back into action in spring for competitions. While our team may be small, our enthusiasm for golf knows no bounds. We’re thrilled to see more students embracing the sport, enriching our team with their talent and dedication. Together, we’re building a legacy of excellence on the course. We take advantage of the beautiful Claremont Drive golf course for training sessions. Players of all ages are welcome to join us during lunchtime for practice rounds and friendly games. Senior players also have the opportunity to compete in exclusive senior games.
FENCING Claremont has a history of fencing and in recent years there has been an increased number of pupils coming to the school with a good level of experience and skill. To support this, there are two fencing clubs per week during lunchtimes. These clubs are open to all, but have a cap on numbers of 12 pupils. In both Year 9 and 10 pupils may have the opportunity to take fencing as their sport in games lessons. The aim is for pupils to represent the school in a local competitions leading to regional and national events. Our coach represented Great Britain in her fencing career and currently coaches individuals to the very highest level. Fencing is a wonderful opportunity for pupils to experience a different type of sport, but one that could lead all the way to the Olympics and with some of our pupils already qualifying for National competitions this year, who knows where their path will lead. Pupils attending fencing need to be in their PE kit, with tracksuit bottoms, which are compulsory. The equipment will be provided by school.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING
As sport at school becomes an ever larger part of pupils lives, preparing them properly for it must have a greater prominence. Therefore, strength and conditioning sessions are currently run for our sports pupils from Year 7 through sixth form. These are bespoke group sessions focused on developing physical attributes required for success in the individual’s sports. Due to exams the fitness suite will be closed, however, fitness and S&C will continue. There will also be a select few open sessions but please see the cocurricular time table for information on when the sessions will be taking place.
CROSS COUNTRY During the autumn and spring terms pupils from all year groups are welcome to attend the cross-country training session that are held during lunchtimes. With the steadily increasing level of performance of all of our teams, these sessions are going to be increased so that more pupils are able to attend and team players will be encouraged to go as an opportunity to develop their baseline fi tness to compliment the skill work they undertake for their chosen sports. Pupils will be able to represent the school in a number of races and participate in English Schools’ Cross Country. Pupils must attend in the correct attire and equipment: Claremont PE kit and suitable running trainers / boots should be worn. All pupils should bring their own water bottle.
SWIMMING We offer swimming as a co-curricular activity when our on-site pool is open, and in curriculum time during summer term. We have entered swimming competitions for pupils that swim competitively. Please speak to a member of PE staff for more information.
