The badminton programme at the school is very healthy, with large numbers of boys and girls of different ages playing and enjoying this popular sport and a strong team of keen and knowledgeable staff coaches. Having developed fixtures for the last few years for both boys and girls we have taken the step of entering the Edinburgh Schools Leagues for our under 19 boys and girls teams, and have made a very promising start in this venture. Pupils experience badminton initially in our 3rd form PE programme, and from there can choose to continue their involvement in the sport through the activity programme, as a games option (for 5th and 6th formers) or by attending badminton club, from where they may be identified as potential team players and be invited to join the weekly training sessions run by head coach Mr.Bruce Russell.
