PREP SCHOOL SPORT
Sport is a vital part of our Prep School pupils’ experience and plays a key role in their physical, social and emotional development. Every week, Prep School pupils use the College's extensive sporting facilities and enjoy a PE lesson, a Games lesson and a Swimming lesson in Ashville's swimming pool, complemented by multiple opportunities to take part in specific sport and dance clubs that develop their skills and interests.
SENIOR SCHOOL SPORT
Our PE curriculum provision is designed to inspire every pupil to participate in and excel at competitive sport promoting both enjoyment and progression. Most pupils can play sport each day if they wish to through the curriculum and co-curricular opportunities.
Games lessons offer structured opportunities to develop skills across a range of core sports. Distinct from our games programme, PE lessons focus on individual development where pupils explore a diverse range of activities that promote personal fitness, skill acquisition, and lifelong participation in physical activity. From Year 9 onwards, pupils benefit from increased choice in their games curriculum, allowing them to tailor their experience to suit their interests and goals. Options include basketball, strength and conditioning, and fitness-focused activities ensuring that every pupil can find a pathway that motivates and challenges them.
