Established to ensure all sports are given equal parity. It acts as an umbrella for all the activities that take place, giving every sport and person an identity, but more importantly demonstrating the core principles and values of BWS sport. With an emphasis on fitter, faster, stronger, the values of support, commitment and determination to do our best are followed and established in all the sports.

Team BWS is at the core of our ethos for promoting physical health, social interaction, and personal improvement, providing every pupil with the opportunity to represent the school. Our House, Curriculum and Community programs also offer other team and individual opportunities. With highly consistent results across all sports, BWS aims to give the best possible coaching and it expects the same levels of commitment and work rate back, to ensure continued success.

As part of Team BWS we regularly tour to countries including Australia, Argentina, South Africa, Canada and Italy.
