Sports trials – Wednesday 30th January
Entry at 11 years old for September 2019
Boys are invited to apply for a sports award if they show outstanding potential in at least one of the main school sports: rugby, soccer, cricket or rowing.
The sports trials are designed to test the candidate’s fitness, attitude and abilities across a range of activities.
The names of suitable referees should be recorded on the application form as references will be requested for all candidates before they attend the sports trials.
Some activities will involve joining in with existing pupils at Monmouth School for Boys, others will be carried out within a group consisting solely of sports award applicants.
All boys will have the opportunity to discuss their sporting interests and aspirations with the Director of Sport, Mr Andy Jones.
