Zeal for the Faith
Sport is another
important and enjoyable part of life at St Edmund's Prep. As well as
providing lots of fresh air and exercise, it encourages team spirit,
fair play and leadership qualities. We offer a balanced sports programme
which includes
netball, hockey, football, rugby, cricket, athletics,
cross-country, basketball, gymnastics, tennis and swimming. Healthy
competition is fostered through inter-house contests, sports days and
fixtures with other schools.
Younger children are taught general
physical education skills to prepare them for the more formal
introduction to specific sports at Junior level. Our excellent
facilities, shared with the College, include a floodlit all-weather
pitch, tennis and netball courts, athletics track, cricket field and
nets, football, rounders and rugby pitches, sports hall and an indoor
swimming pool.
After-School Activities
At
the end of the school day, Junior children can take part in our
activities programme, which offers a lively and interesting dimension to
life at St Edmund's Prep. A wide range of activities is available, from
musical clubs to sporting activities such as football and rounders.
Other popular activities include dance, cooking, art and craft,
computers and drama.
