Sport at Highgate Sixth Form

We offer a range of sporting opportunities and facilities, plus a unique curriculum and approach to training, to all our sixth formers.

From the age of 4 to 18, all pupils are taught sports and exercise by specialist coaches and teachers to ensure a high quality experience. Our 23 acres of green space and playing fields are complemented by facilities at our Mallinson Sports Centre, equipped with a gym, 25-metre indoor pool, courts for squash, tennis and Eton Fives, dance studio, an all-weather pitch, cricket nets, and our location next to Hampstead Heath.
