Here is a short summary of the methodology and a link to the article:
The Top Co-ed Sports Schools for 2024 were determined through a comprehensive evaluation of final first team rankings across seven key sports: rugby, cricket, basketball, water polo, netball, hockey, and soccer. This combined ranking reflects a holistic assessment of schools excelling across multiple disciplines, highlighting their well-rounded sporting achievements. While other popular sports like athletics, tennis, and rowing were excluded due to a lack of ranking metrics, the guide offers a focused view of schools’ performance in these prioritized codes.
It’s important to note that this ranking is a snapshot based solely on available metrics, omitting other influential factors such as facilities, provincial representation, and coaching quality. While rankings provide a benchmark, they do not fully capture a school’s sporting culture, which is shaped by broader elements like infrastructure, coaching expertise, and student enthusiasm. This guide celebrates the efforts of the top-ranked schools, recognizing their significant contributions to nurturing young athletes and fostering a vibrant sports environment.
