Our Sports

In Merchiston Juniors and the Middle Years, your son will be encouraged to participate in team and individual sports.

In the Autumn and Lent Terms, the main sport is Rugby; in the Summer Term, Cricket and Athletics. In addition to the three major sports of Athletics, Cricket and Rugby the School runs specialist academy programmes in Tennis and Golf.

In the Sixth Form, your son will have greater choice over his sporting programme. The major sports are not compulsory, but he must participate in physical activity on three afternoons a week, and will be encouraged to reach his potential in his chosen sport.
