Sporting Activities

The opportunities for sporting activities are on the rise. We offer a variety of sports including football, basketball, netball, cricket, badminton, table tennis and indoor 5-a-side games. Students play both competitively with other colleges throughout England and also for leisure. Friendlies practice or matches take place every lunch break and most evenings.
We have fully qualified instructors for all our sporting activities including gym instructors. The student voice is encouraged widely in college and sport is no exception. This year saw a student launch the Monoux Track Team with amazing results. We have an elected student who represents the borough in the Waltham Forest Youth Ambassadors programme. This allows us access to developments in the Olympics and gives our students many opportunities to get involved. Sir George Monoux College is affiliated to the British College of Sports, the Essex Basketball Association and the English FA.

Badminton

The college team competed in the Inter borough Schools Badminton Tournament and the Colchester Badminton tournament U17, they won both! They also won the boys’
singles and the boys’ doubles!

                                                                        

Football

This is the most popular sport in the college with several hundred students competing for places in the college teams.
This year the college team entered in the London Cup U18, BSC East Cup, English School Football Association [ESFA] U18 College Trophy, Bryon Coomer Trophy U19 and the Essex
County Schools Football League.

Cricket

Our students undergo ten intense weeks of training with a highly qualified cricket coach and are then entered into a series of friendlies before entering the U19 Dongray Cricket Cup which is part of the London Schools Cricket Association.

Gym

At Sir George Monoux College we are working toward the Healthy College Standard. All students and staff are entitled to free membership to the fully equipped gym. There are girls’ only sessions with the popular aerobics and boxercise classes. Also in demand are the circuit training and weights with programmes tailored and developed to meet the needs of the students.
