At the British School of Bucharest, our competitive sports programme is at the heart of our commitment to excellence, fostering a passion for achievement and teamwork among our students. Here, our sports programme not only fosters a healthy competitive spirit but also builds the life skills and character that our students carry into every arena of their lives.
From Year 3 onwards, students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of sports, including basketball, football and table tennis. From Year 7, we broaden the competitive offerings with sports such as badminton and volleyball, while primary students also engage in gymnastics to build foundational strength and coordination. Weekly training sessions, including strength and conditioning, are designed to refine athletic performance and prepare students to compete at their best.
