ACTIVE FOR LIFE 

Sport is an integral part of school life, with everyone taught the importance and the long-term benefits of an active, healthy lifestyle. We do some kind of a sporting activity every day.  
 
Essential skills are taught by PE specialists and external professionals, with a great emphasis on fun and encouraging everyone to take part. Weekly swimming begins in Year 1, taught by staff who are highly experienced in developing the skills and confidence of young swimmers. Rugby coaching begins with learning to throw and catch the ball, which develops to tag rugby when the boys move on to Year 3. 
 
We love cricket and are proud to be in the Cricketer magazine’s top prep schools in the country for Cricket. Guided by the national governing body, the ECB, fielding and batting skills begin in the Pre-Prep using plastic cricket bats and tennis balls, with boys learning the basic principles and rules.   
 
The school year culminates with athletics finals – our Sports Day. Older boys from the Prep help with the day and offer great encouragement to the younger competitors. This popular family event is a mixture of competitive and fun races. It’s always very well attended with parents and younger siblings joining in.
