ACS Hillingdon runs a full athletic programme fielding Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Middle School teams. Students are encouraged to put their individual skills to the test, and to participate in a wide range of team sports. We promote a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity through our balanced programme. Apart from developing coordination, balance, and physical fitness, we view sports within the wider educational context, teaching team spirit, self-confidence, and discipline.

ACS Hillingdon has 56 teams at Middle and High School level. Not only do we have excellent facilities – a well-appointed full-size gymnasium, tennis courts, and grass sports fields – which help our teams to achieve their full potential, we also have a dedicated team of full-time coaches, which is supported by a number of highly qualified external instructors. Together we offer every student the opportunity to compete in inter-scholastic athletics, whether at Varsity, Junior Varsity, or Middle School levels.

Our athletes compete against other international schools in the UK and across Europe. Each season concludes with an International Schools Sports Tournament (ISST) where ACS Hillingdon teams have achieved considerable success. Students who play in one of our many school teams can be proud participants in tournaments held around Europe, including Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt, Vienna, and Athens. Travelling to these tournaments is a well-earned privilege, as students return with an enriched understanding of sportsmanship, competition, and cooperation.

At the end of each sports season, athletes are recognised for their participation in the athletics programme, and special awards are given to recognise individual accomplishments.

In addition to our competitive athletics programme, we also offer 4th and 5th Grade soccer. The school also runs a successful Saturday morning activities programme for Pre-K through 8th Grade that includes soccer, basketball, gymnastics, tennis, flag football, and dance. Our sports Booster Club also provides many avenues for parents to become involved in the sports activities of their child/children.
