Sport & Physical Education

Sport and Physical Education (PE) play an essential role at Lingfield Prep. Every child is encouraged to engage in our diverse range of activities, including football, hockey, netball, cross-country, cricket, athletics and much more. It is an excellent opportunity to learn new skills, develop individual fitness, enjoy being part of a team and, most importantly, have fun!

Our team of specialist PE teachers and coaches provide expert instruction from working on sport-specific skills to understanding the importance of keeping healthy and active. Our inclusive and supportive ethos encourages pupils to participate in fixtures and competitive matches against local independent schools.

Key Stage 1

In Reception, pupils play games and activities that focus on the development of spatial awareness, ball skills and fair play. They learn gymnastics, dance and fun fitness to extend their range of movement, imagination, balance and control. In the Summer term, children play striking and fielding games, learn simple rules and develop their hand-eye coordination. They also prepare for Sports Day by taking part in mini athletics events.

As the children move into Years 1 and 2 we build on these basic fundamental skills by introducing them to simple team games, such as football, hockey and netball.

Key Stage 2

Building on the skills learned in Key Stage 1, our children progress into match play situations in all major sports. From Year 3, boys play competitive matches in football, hockey, athletics and cricket, whilst girls compete in football, hockey, netball, athletics and cricket. All pupils have the opportunity to compete in regional and inter-school cross-country events.
