Sport
Sports are generously timetabled with games sessions in Reception, Years 1 and 2 and games afternoons in Years 3 to 6. Years 2 and 3 enjoy swimming at Fulham Pools.
We have fantastic facilities for Sports with two floodlit Netball, Tennis and Hockey courts on-site.
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
We offer an extensive range of before and after sports clubs throughout the week, led by our PE Team and external coaches.
After-school clubs include both Rhythmic and Artistic Gymnastics, both run by our very experienced Gymnastics coaches, and team sports, 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.
Fixtures
We have a packed fixture list and girls are high achievers in local and national tournaments.
Girls are introduced to competitive fixtures within their Games afternoons from Year 3. Each year group will have inter-class and inter-house fixtures each term, including external fixtures, all taking place within their timetabled games afternoons.
The number of fixtures each year group participates in gradually increases as the girls move up to Year 6. Attending GDST and IAPS 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, golf and self-defence techniques.
