Sport

Sport in the Curriculum

Physical activity forms an integral part of student development here, supporting both their physical and mental wellbeing. Senior students participate in weekly sessions, while those who show particular passion can compete at inter-school level or even represent their county and country. The seniors also mentor younger pupils during additional training, creating a supportive athletic community. Students access various sports that rotate seasonally.

Winter offerings include:

• netball
• hockey
• swimming

Summer sessions focus on:

• tennis
• rounders
• athletics

Facilities and Resources

The pool opens three times weekly for casual use and specialized training. After classes and on weekends, seniors have access to the fitness suite and dance studio, where they can work on conditioning independently. Beyond its own facilities, Cobham Hall partners with external venues: equestrian lessons take place at a nearby riding school, tennis coaching is led by a specialist who also runs the Tennis Academy, while golf sessions use the neighboring Rochester & Cobham Park Golf Club.

Cobham Hall Football Academy

The Academy combines professional football training with academic study, allowing students to excel in both areas. A UEFA-qualified coach leads sessions in a welcoming atmosphere that suits players of all abilities. The program develops technical skills, tactical awareness, physical stamina, and mental resilience through regular friendly matches and tournaments. For those with serious ambitions, it can serve as a stepping stone toward professional careers.

Individual Sessions

When a student’s sporting interests fall outside the main curriculum, the school arranges sessions at external venues—particularly helpful for specialized disciplines requiring specific equipment or expert instructors. Alongside team sports, Cobham Hall offers individualized coaching in:

• Equestrian sport — suitable for both beginners and experienced riders; all sessions led by qualified instructors
• Tennis — individual or group lessons with a professional coach
• Golf — training at the neighboring Rochester & Cobham Park Golf Club
• Trampoline — sessions with a specialized instructor
