Athletics at Aldenham

Athletics enhances physical fitness, boosts mental resilience, and fosters teamwork.

Participating in track and field events builds discipline, improves coordination, and instills a

lifelong love for healthy competition.

Athletics at Aldenham

Athletics is an important part of the sporting programme at Aldenham, with all pupils in Years 7–10 experiencing athletics through Core PE and our leading athletes receiving additional specialist coaching and one-to-one support.
Aldenham competes in the National Track & Field Cup and Watford District Championships, while our leading individual athletes progress to the Hertfordshire Schools Championships and potentially the National Championships.
Recent success includes Milly Gall becoming National Long Jump Champion, alongside Hayden London and Dijani Barnor representing Hertfordshire at the National Championships. In 2026, our boys’ team won the prestigious Watford District Championships, highlighting the continued strength of athletics at Aldenham.

“We feel the school offers much more than just education, we believe that it teaches your child how important their time is at school, and this in turn gets the best out of every pupil, not just our daughter.”

Sports Day

Athletics also provides a fitting finale to the sporting year with our annual Whole School Sports Day, held on the final full day of the Summer Term at Woodside Stadium. Pupils compete for their Houses across a full programme of track and field events, creating a fantastic atmosphere of competition, teamwork and House spirit.
Sports Day is one of the highlights of the Aldenham calendar, with House pride and individual competition at its heart, bringing pupils together to celebrate sport and cap off another busy year of sporting activity.
