Triumph in School Sports: Securing a Spot in the Top 200 

Posted: 27th January 2025

We’re thrilled to announce that for the second consecutive year that St Lawrence College has gained a place into the prestigious School Sports Magazine Top 200 Sports Schools in the UK. A publication renowned as the pinnacle of school sports recognition. 

After regaining our Top 200 status last year, we continued to intensify our efforts where our strategy focused on participating in nationally recognised competitions, accruing points for entries and excelling in each event.

Qualifying is a rigorous process, emphasising success across various sports. We’re now part of the top 4% of the country’s sporting schools—a significant achievement for our dedicated athletes and our Games Department.

Our commitment to diverse sports and increased competition participation has provided valuable opportunities for students across all age groups. From the traditional major sports such as cricket, hockey, rugby, netball and swimming to increasing participation in a variety of other sports such as tennis, basketball, golf, athletics, football, water polo and badminton, it’s wonderful to see our students embracing the challenge. Future plans include expanding into additional sports such as padel, girls rugby and cross country, all of which have already started at the school or will be shortly and we are looking to continue developing them through our new Strategic Development plan.

A heartfelt thank you to Mr Seth Simmons (Director of Sport) and his team who contribute to our sports programs with such passion. Your dedication has paved the way for this accomplishment. As we celebrate, we acknowledge the challenges ahead. Retaining our place for the third year in a row is the next goal, and with the same passion and determination, we’ll continue to hopefully rise in the ranks of school sports excellence.
