Sports at Horizon School

Please come back to this page through the year to see what we have been up to in the sports department.

PE Curriculum

A broad-based curriculum is offered, by a specialist teacher, which aims to develop positive attitudes to physical activities and a healthy life-style.  Swimming, a statutory requirement in the UK, is a priority area but importance is also given to gymnastics, team games (both co-operative and competitive) and dance.

Team Sports

Horizon School competes regularly against other schools throughout the Emirates in a range of sports. Autumn through to Spring, the netball and football teams are most active, competing in leagues and tournaments, with the rest of the year dominated by swimming. Both our football and netball teams are growing in strength every year, due to the expert coaching provided and thanks also to the input of parents (the backbone of our cheering squad!)

Our swim squad continues to develop, travelling to compete against schools in Sharjah and Dubai and hosting galas at home.

The will to win is important, however, good sportsmanship, team spirit and fair play are the qualities we aim to promote.
