Sporting activities are an essential part of life here at Scarisbrick Hall School. We place a strong emphasis on sporting excellence, however we encourage children of all abilities to participate, progress and compete. Every single pupil from First School through to Sixth Form is encouraged to enjoy a recreational interest in individual or team games to help them to develop a healthy relationship with health and fitness.
