Find a school around your child’s interests
Start with school stage and day or boarding provision, then explore sports and extracurricular interests. A filter match means an activity appears in the school’s published information; it does not guarantee availability for every age, term or ability.
Our school collection is expanding. It is a growing directory, not a comprehensive list or a league table. Profiles are researched from school sources and are awaiting human editorial review.
Look beyond the activity list
Read Sport in Focus and Extracurricular in Focus on each profile for context. On a visit, ask about beginners’ access, competitive selection, weekly time commitments, transport and additional charges. Confirm fees, admissions requirements and support needs directly with the school.
School sport: published results
Initial research, checked 2 November 2026; awaiting human editorial review. These are selected team results, not a whole-school ranking or a complete season record. School reports are linked below. Missing information is not a zero score. Publication dates are labelled separately from event dates.

The swimming rows share one competition and points system, but the source does not state the season or exact age groups: treat them as an undated published table until confirmed. The other rows concern different teams and competitions and must not be combined into an overall score. Rugby sevens and indoor hockey are identified separately from fifteen-a-side rugby and outdoor hockey.
Sports-results coverage is incomplete across the school collection. Results absent from this sample remain not yet verified. Win percentages will only be calculated from a defined fixture set showing played, won, drawn and lost, excluding cancelled fixtures. No individual pupil data is included.
For schools: search and AI visibility
We are preparing a free Sussex school visibility report covering Google keyword rankings and school mentions and citations in AI answers to parent questions. A national comparison is planned as a paid follow-on. Research has not yet been completed and no results or school rankings are published here.
The report will assess online visibility, not educational quality. Buying a report or editorial feature will not improve a school’s directory position or its measured results.
