Co-curricular Activities

Participation in our co-curricular programme provides pupils with valuable opportunities to develop transferable skills that will support them through each stage of their education.

The range of clubs offered in the Prep School varies from year to year, but recent options have included gardening, wildlife explorers, science, board games, drama, swimming, mindfulness, gymnastics, hockey, rugby, tennis, cricket, and football.

These activities help foster a well-rounded development, allowing children to explore their interests and build new skills in a supportive environment. There are lunchtime and after school co-curricular clubs for all Prep pupils.

There is no requirement to sign up electronically for lunchtime clubs as this will be done in school with the children. After school clubs are signed up for via SOCS if there is a high level of interest in a particular club, we may need to split this into separate blocks to give all children the opportunity to take part.
