Sport


Sport plays a very important part in our provision to develop well rounded, confident individuals, and also in ensuring that children receive a rich and balanced curriculum. Every week, pupils enjoy a fantastic programme of sport, led by highly qualified specialist teachers, using our astro, sports halls, netball and tennis courts, trampolines, top level gymnastics facilities and brand new indoor swimming pool. It is easy to see why children make excellent progress from Nursery to Year 6.

Sport at KC Prep


Incredible facilities, dedicated and specialist PE staff and a commitment to providing many hours of sport a week for our pupils, are just some of the things that set sport at KC Prep apart.

There is a sport for everyone with opportunities for talented athletes and for those who just enjoy taking part

Developing Skills


From the offset in Early Years, our pupils learn fundamental skills such as running, jumping and hopping through to participating in both team and individual sports. This develops a range of skills; independence, communication, resilience, and encourages pupils to work together to understand how to follow rules and achieve common goals.

Range of Sports

Within curriculum PE lessons, our Prep pupils have a carousel of sports including hockey, netball, football, cricket, trampolining, gymnastics, tag rugby, badminton, athletics, tennis, fitness and health, cross country and many more.

All Kent College Prep pupils from Nursery to Year 6, have a weekly swimming lesson in our new indoor pool throughout the year.

From Year 3, pupils participate in competitive sports fixtures against other schools, with all pupils having the opportunity to represent the school.
