Sport
We offer a range of sporting opportunities and facilities, plus a unique curriculum and approach to training, to all our pupils.
From the age of 3 to 18, Highgate pupils are taught sports and exercise by specialist coaches and teachers to ensure a high quality experience. Our extensive playing fields are complemented by facilities at the Mallinson Sports Centre, by courts for squash, tennis and Eton Fives, by our all-weather pitch, by our cricket nets, and by our location next to Hampstead Heath.
