Aim

Our aim in the Sports department (combining Games and PE) is to provide the children with an exciting, supportive and aspirational environment in which a love for sport and knowledge of the varied benefits of physical activities can be fostered to endure for the future.

Approach

At The Prep we believe sport and physical education are integral to the holistic development of the children within our care.

Exercise is vital for a healthy and happy life, as is the need to work to the best of one’s ability in both individual and team games. We work inclusively, encouraging participation in a diverse range of sports for all pupils throughout our year groups. We ensure that every child represents the school in a team sport and each child participates in our annual Sports Day.

Our fixtures are carefully scheduled to balance competitive opportunity with time for reflection and skill development on the training field and we ensure that both staff and children maintain a healthy perspective in both victory and defeat.

Specifically qualified sports staff lead PE and Games coaching sessions providing a scaffolding for the beginner, challenging the most able and imparting to all key messages related to healthy living: life skills that will last for ever.
