Sport plays an essential role in the all-round education of our students, not only with regard to the improvement of physical condition, but also as a means by which fundamental ethical principles such as respect, determination, tolerance, cooperation, discipline, effort and teamwork can be introduced and developed. Our sports teachers are highly qualified and experienced professionals who help students develop their individual physical talents and abilities, in addition to teaching them the skills and strategies necessary to work as part of a team.
O Castro British School has excellent sporting facilities, including a football pitch, basketball, handball and tennis courts, an indoor sports hall, a psychomotor development facility for our younger students and a dance studio. Throughout the academic year our students participate in various sporting events organised both by the school and, at an international level, by Nace schools. Our local events include Sports days, charity sports events and sports competitions and, at the NACE Olympic Games, in addition to promoting healthy international competition, our students get the opportunity to meet up with other young people from around the world and share their passion for sport.
