Sport brings challenge, and a vital balance to academic life. At LYBS students can participate in a wide range of sporting opportunities. Our principal aim is to develop the interest and enthusiasm of each student for physical activity and then encourage them to participate regularly during their time at the school. There is an open invitation to all students to make best use of the facilities and the opportunities put before them, either at a recreational level or as part of a more structured competitive sports programme. We hope that this exposure will encourage pupils to continue with regular physical activity in later life. Our coaching staff consists of highly trained and experienced professionals whose expertise and enthusiasm readies students for the challenges of the future. With a wide variety of sports related experiences to choose from, whether part of the PHE curriculum or an elective activity, there is something for every student at LYBS. Such opportunities include but are not limited to basketball, football, baseball, golf, volleyball, fencing, kendo, hockey, swimming, horse riding, canoeing, hiking, gymnastics, badminton, tennis, taekwondo, boxing, to mention but a few. They allow students to explore and pursue excellence in their chosen specialisms, leading to a deeper appreciation and a long-term enjoyment of sport, as well as a balanced way of living.

After School Activities (ASAs) provision at LYBS is exceptional and forms an essential part of the way in which we seek to develop and strengthen our mission, vision and values. There is a strong emphasis on broad participation, but we are also uniquely well-resourced to cater for the very best. Our Amazing House boasts an extraordinary array of clubs and societies, which cater for every interest. Great effort is made to exploit our location and the ease with which places of interest can be visited is truly unique. All Amazing House activities, clubs and societies, are developed and reviewed on the creativity, activity and service framework of the International Baccalaureate programmes, with clearly defined learning outcomes, within which participants can find like minds and fresh challenges. Quite a few are founded and run by the students themselves. Whether broadening or intensifying their interests, LYBS students can take part in a busy and stimulating range of experiences that enriches their studies and their school life throughout the year. Such activities include but are not limited to playing various musical instruments, practicing a variety of dancing styles, singing in the choir, pottery-making, designing clothes, painting, sketching, paper-cutting, learning modern foreign languages, reciting, playing chess, calligraphy, creative writing, robotics, TEDex, public speaking, Mathematics Olympiads, business competitions, school newspaper, and many others. We actively encourage students to participate in as many Amazing House activities as they feel able to manage. Many even take on responsibilities within these groups and gain much useful experience in learning how to organise and run them. They make lasting friendships and enjoy taking part.
