School Life

Hockey

All girls from Year 3 upwards participate in hockey during the autumn term. The training lessons focus on passing, movement and shooting skills, and developing effective team strategies. Year 7 & 8 girls receive two coaching sessions from outside specialist coaches as well as travelling to the Isle of Wight for a two-day hockey tour. Dorset House play matches and tournaments at U9, U11 and U13 level on a weekly basis and all girls are involved.

In the Spring Term, the boys are taught the fundamentals of hockey – stopping, passing and dribbling. The lessons are taught on our all-weather pitch and there are regular fixtures with other schools.
