Sports

Sport at Aldenham Prepl is an essential part of student life, fostering not only physical fitness but also important life skills such as teamwork, leadership, resilience, and time management.

At Aldenham Prep School, we are committed to fostering physical literacy and implementing a comprehensive Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) program that guides our students on their athletic journeys. In our Nursery and Reception classes, children embark on an engaging adventure in physical education, where they participate in one PE lesson and one Games lesson each week. Under the guidance of a specialist teacher, they learn essential movement skills and discover how to connect them effectively. In Reception, the foundation of confidence is laid as they begin their swimming journey, enjoying weekly lessons that inspire a lifelong affinity for water.

As they progress into Years 1 and 2, our carefully crafted curriculum continues to evolve, featuring weekly PE lessons, Games sessions, and Swimming classes—all led by specialist teachers. This crucial developmental phase focuses on further enhancing basic skills and competence across a variety of activities, laying the groundwork for future success in sports.

Upon reaching Year 3, pupils are introduced to an expansive world of sports, diving into diverse activities such as Netball, Football, Swimming, Tag Rugby, Cross Country, Hockey, Badminton, Cricket, and Athletics. Our dedication to nurturing a competitive spirit is reflected in our Interhouse sports program, where camaraderie and healthy rivalry thrive. We also organise fixtures against other schools, providing every pupil with the exhilarating chance to represent Aldenham Prep.

For those with a passion for competition, we participate in IAPS, ISA, and ISFA events, offering our most talented athletes the opportunity to showcase their skills on a broader stage and potentially progress to national championships. At Aldenham Prep, we go beyond merely teaching sports; we are dedicated to cultivating resilience, encouraging ambition, and instilling respect for both the game and one another, ensuring that our students are well-prepared for a lifelong love of physical activity.

INTERHOUSE

At Aldenham Prep, our approach to sports is deeply rooted in the core values of Aspiration, Determination, and Respect—principles that guide every game played and every victory celebrated. Within our vibrant school community, pupils are divided into three spirited houses: Cantrell, Creswell, and Champion.

In a thrilling showcase of talent and teamwork, every student engages in interhouse competitions, fostering an environment rich in camaraderie and competition.
