Developing a love of sport and exercise from an early age is vital for lifelong health and wellbeing. Our developmental sports programme inspires pupils to find joy in exercise while building teamwork, resilience, and confidence in a supportive and encouraging environment.

There is a genuine love of sport here. We champion a ‘sport for all’ philosophy, offering a wide range of sports in PE and Games, supported by excellent facilities, including our sports hall, astroturf, and playing fields. Every pupil is encouraged to take part, feel valued, and experience success – whether through personal progress or team achievement. Every win is celebrated with joy.

We also value the strong partnership we have with parents, whose enthusiasm for sport and support for participation beyond School are both welcomed and encouraged.

Equipped to Deliver

At the Prep School, we have access to large playing fields, ten specialist cricket nets, and a variety of indoor playing spaces. We also enjoy access to the Senior School’s facilities, such as the astroturfs, swimming pool, athletics track, tennis courts and water sports areas, enhancing both our competitive fixtures and recreational activities.

Specialist coaches lead our core team sports – cricket, hockey, football, and rugby – as well as our table tennis programme, ensuring age and ability-appropriate development for every pupil. Boys in Years 4-8 are given regular opportunities to compete, both in inter-school fixtures and through internal house and development events.
