Our ethos for sport is inclusivity and participation is encouraged for every child. Every pupil (whatever their ability) in our Middle Prep School and Upper Prep School (Years 3–8) has a chance to enjoy Games, physical education activities, Swimming and match fixtures. These are taught four times a week with fixtures on Wednesday afternoons. We believe that sport is healthy for mind, body and soul – developing not only stamina and technical skills but character, communication skills and confidence.

Mainstream Sport

The teaching of sport changes each Term:

  • Autumn Term – boys play Rugby and girls play Hockey
  • Spring Term – girls play Netball and boys play Football
  • Summer Term – boys and girls play Tennis, Cricket and take part in athletics.
