Pre-Prep Sport | Pre Prep School Berkshire

Sport in PrePrep at Crosfields builds confidence, teamwork and a love of being active. With specialist coaching, weekly PE, games and swimming, and access to exceptional facilities, children develop strong foundational skills. From interhouse events to early fixture, every child enjoys inclusive, supportive and joyful sporting opportunities.

Specialist coaching from the start

From Nursery onwards, children are taught by specialist sports teachers who bring energy, expertise and encouragement to every lesson. Weekly PE, swimming and games sessions, and annual inter house cross country competition, take place in outstanding facilities, including:

A state-of-the-art swimming pool with a variable depth floor
A large, well-equipped sports hall
Acres of playing fields
Access to our new isports wall

These environments help pupils feel safe, supported and inspired as they learn and grow.

Games and physical development

Games lessons focus on developing fundamental movement skills, coordination and physical confidence. As these foundations grow, Year 2 pupils begin to explore team sports and enjoy their first friendly fixtures with other schools. The emphasis is always on:

Participation
Sportsmanship
Fun

This supportive, co-educational environment helps children build resilience and understand the value of teamwork.

Swimming for all

Swimming is a core part of the curriculum for all pupils. High staff-to-child ratios ensure children build water confidence at their own pace. By the end of Year 2, most pupils are swimming independently, with many confidently achieving 25 metres, an early milestone that sets them up with essential lifelong skills.

A strong sense of community

Inter-house competitions start in Nursery, giving even the youngest pupils the chance to get involved, cheer for their team and feel part of the wider school community. Whether running across the beautiful grounds, diving into the pool or celebrating a team effort, every child experiences the joy and camaraderie that sport brings.

More than physical activity

At Crosfields, sport is about developing confidence, character and connection. Through innovation, opportunity and an inclusive ethos, every child is encouraged to shine, on the field, in the pool and beyond.
