Return of Extra-Curricular Sport -Dec 2020
The second national lockdown ends at 00:01am this coming Wednesday. This opens the door for a return to the provision of extra-curricular sport and it is our intention to begin practices after school at the earliest possible opportunity.
Below is the extra-curricular programme that we will reintroduce, commencing Wednesday 2nd December.

If your son is involved in Year 8 or Year 9 rugby, please be aware that training for this will now occur on the school site as opposed to the ON’s, with the boys changing at the pavilion.
Given the ongoing situation and associated limitations we are experiencing regarding changing, staffing, year group bubbles, activity space and split lunchtimes, the programme above reflects our provision at current capacity. I recognise that not all activities we would ordinarily provide have been able to return to date. Of course, it is our hope to be able to reinstate provision in all other areas of sport as soon as we are able, and when that time comes I will write to parents accordingly.
Please be reassured that there will be stringent adherence to relevant health and safety requirements during each of the sports practices. Including the sanitisation of changing spaces, equipment and hands. Please also be aware that under current guidelines we are not permitted to lend items of clothing or footwear to students who forget their kit for practice.
Parents and Pick Up’s:
At the current time we have some restrictions in place which affect most of the students and their parent / guardian. Please be aware of the following:
- Parents are not permitted to spectate at sporting trials or practices until further notice.
- Pupil vehicle pick up’s must happen off-site at this time. There are areas at the front of school appropriate for pick up, also at the Old Northamptonians car park and the local streets opposite school. Students crossing Billing Road MUST use the pedestrian crossing.
- If any parent feels their son merits dispensation to allow for a pick up at the sports hall car park, I would request that you contact me at the school to make me aware and discuss as appropriate.
