Rugby, cross-country and hockey are the main winter sports, with athletics and cricket in the summer term. Other sports such as Volley ball, badminton, table tennis, golf, orienteering and swimming are also enjoyed by many.

The School has its own outdoor, solar heated swimming pool and swimming includes training in Personal Survival up to gold standard and The Royal Life Saving Proficiency Awards.

Sports form a major feature of life for many boys at Brymore and the School has achieved great success in competition against schools many times its size. Apart from timetabled PE and games periods, participation in sports is voluntary. Nevertheless, most boys are active in at least one sport and regularly attend evening fitness training. In all sports the emphasis is on team effort rather than reliance on 'stars', and the sense of competition is tempered by an emphasis on good conduct and acceptance of rules. A vast majority of the pupils represent the School at one sport or other during their time at Brymore while the school run - "Chads Hill" - is three and a quarter miles and can be run up to four times a week (winter) and every day (in summer).
