Cricket

What we offer

Thomas Telford School offers Cricket as part of their summer curriculum programme and we have a regular cricket session 3 timetable for all year groups. We have many Club, District and County cricketers throughout the school allowing us to compete with Schools that have a much larger cricket programme. We aim to support all students who have a passion and talent for the sport as well as encouraging others who wish to experience cricket as an alternative to their winter sports.

Cricket has always been a very popular sport at Thomas Telford School with many local cricket clubs set up as club links for the school. Many of our players play in local leagues and we are very proud of their successes.
