Yes, my senior school ( an LEA mixed grammar), had two well-equipped gymnasia and extensive sports fields.
My primary school did not have such facilities, but we made do with ropes, balls, hoops and the like. It had a small field next to the playground, but for larger football games we traipsed once a week to a public playing-fields about half a mile away. There were no changing facilities there so we used a ragged hawthorn hedge as shelter, until the neighbouring secondary school built a large shed for us in the corner of its own sports-field.
