Without the intimidation of larger gyms, The Oratory Sports Centre believes this is the perfect location for people of all abilities and experience.
The gym has relocated to a new position in The Oratory Sports Centre, with much more room to support social distancing as well as double doors to aid ventilation. The gym boasts beautiful views of our grass tennis courts.

Gym sessions are available in 1 hour slots, with a maximum of 10 places available per slot.

Please make use of sanitising stations made available in different parts of the sports centre.
Lawn Tennis
The Oratory Sports Centre boasts 6 stunning lawn tennis courts, available to hire during the summer holidays. The grounds staff do a superb job of keeping the courts in pristine condition; thus, they are now closed until Summer 2023.
Real Tennis
The Oratory Sports Centre is home to one of just 26 courts in the country and is the original racquet sport from which the modern game of lawn tennis, or tennis, is descended.
The Oratory are delighted to have Rob Fahey (the current Men’s Real Tennis World Champion) as their new head professional. Whilst his wife, Claire Fahey (current Ladies Real Tennis World Champion) joins the Oratory School as Head of Racquet sports.
Real Tennis is played in an asymmetrical court which contains many unusual features, sloping roofs, openings (galleries) in the walls and a main wall which has a kink in it (tambour).The game is played with racquets made of wood and hand-made balls and uses a scoring system similar to that of “lawn tennis” with the addition of a “chase”.
