Physical Education
The School has excellent sporting facilities and boasts an ample number of specialist teachers and coaches in their respective sports.
We provide diverse sporting opportunities both within and outside the curriculum. In Pre-Prep, children are taught basic body management skills through Gymnastics, life-saving skills in the swimming pool, and develop ball skills, team work and co-operation through their weekly Games lesson. In Prep, children have about 3.5 hours of sport per week within the curriculum, encompassing a whole variety of sports from Dance and Gymnastics, through to Games, Outdoor and Adventure Activities and Athletics. Children participate in Inter House Competition, promoting sport for all, team work, health awareness and sportsmanship. Many children extend the amount of time they spend on the sports field, and in the gymnasium, by volunteering to participate in the extra curricular activities that are also available.
We compete in numerous sporting fixtures against local primary and independent schools, including tournaments and cup competitions, and host district and county sporting activities.
