Sport
There are fantastic facilities for Sports with two floodlit netball, tennis and hockey courts on-site. Sports are generously timetabled with a longer games session in Years 1 and 2 and games afternoons in Years 3 to 6. Years 2 to 4 enjoy swimming at Fulham Pools.
PE and Sports at Ken Prep
PE and Sports complement academic teaching within Kensington Prep: we nurture and develop the ability and confidence of all our girls in a range of physical activities.
Our varied PE curriculum gives girls the opportunity to develop fundamental movements, physical literacy and creativity in activities such as Dance, Gymnastics and Fitness. Within the Games programme skills developed include competitiveness, leadership, sportsmanship, and teamwork in a range of team sports throughout the year: Netball, Hockey, Football and Cricket.
The balanced provision of physical activities with competitive opportunities means the girls leave school with a lifelong passion for physical activity and sports.
Extra-Curricular Clubs
The PE Team offers an extensive range of before and after sports clubs throughout the week. After-school clubs include both Rhythmic and Artistic Gymnastics, both run by our very experienced Gymnastics coaches, and team sports which take place daily including Netball, Football and Cricket. The swimming squad is held once a week at Fulham Pools, any girls who are keen to attend will take part in trials held at the start of every term. Girls from Year 3 upwards have the opportunity to start their day once a week with our running club.
Fixtures
We have a packed fixture list and girls are high achievers in local and national tournaments.
Girls are introduced to competitive fixtures within Games from Year 3. Each year group will have inter-class and inter-house fixtures each term including external fixtures all taking place within the games afternoons. The number of fixtures each year group participates in gradually increases as the girls move up to Year 6. Attending GDST Rallies, Galas and Tournaments throughout the year is a real incentive for our girls.
Older girls in Year 6 also have tasters trying out broader sports including water sports, outdoor adventure activities, climbing walls and self-defence techniques alongside taking the young leaders award.
