Sport
Taking part in sport is a big part of life in the Prep School and all pupils are given the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of sports at a level commensurate with their ability. The School has a reputation for sporting excellence with pupils competing at regional and national levels, but we firmly believe that sport is for everyone and aim to ensure that children of all abilities and aptitudes have a positive experience and gain an appreciation of the enjoyment and benefits to be gained from physical activity.
As well as our own playing fields and tennis courts, the Prep School also has access to all the facilities of the Senior School, including a full size indoor swimming pool, astro turfs and a large sports hall.
We offer a full range of sports fixtures, which parents are warmly invited to attend and support.
