Riddlesdown Collegiate has always had a lot success in Croydon School Competitions, and the size of the Collegiate has a big impact on this, with such a huge array of talent in every year group. In the past three years Riddlesdown Collegiate has made a real impact on the County in sports such as Football, Rugby, Cricket and Netball. This has brought a lot of success to the Collegiate, and is one thing that seems to be getting bigger and bigger every year.

The Collegiate’s facilities allows sport to thrive here, and gives students excellent opportunities in both curriculum lessons and extra-curricular clubs. Riddlesdown has a huge range of extra-curricular activities, which includes all the sports mentioned previously, as well as Fitness, Dance, Gymnastics, Trampolining and new this year, Lacrosse.

All the Collegiate’s sporting success, is celebrated at the Annual Sports Awards Evening held at Riddlesdown Collegiate at the end of the year.
