Sport at New Hall Preparatory School


New Hall Preparatory School is dedicated to providing the very best in Physical Education. This is reflected in our outstanding sporting facilities which are second to none.

We recognise that Physical Education is an area of physical, mental and social development.

We aim to promote good health and fitness and to encourage our pupils to develop an understanding of the place of physical activity in everyday life. Children are encouraged to participate fully in all forms of physical activity and to develop those qualities which allow the individual to become a competent, well-balanced person.

Within curriculum time, the Foundation and Key Stage 1 children are taught introductory activities in areas of gymnastics, athletics and the fundamental skills required in more traditional ‘games’. The progression of knowledge and skills continues into Key Stage 2 lessons, where pupils develop a greater understanding of performance in sporting activities.

To complement and extend the curriculum content, we provide all children with the opportunity to take part in our diverse extra-curricular program consisting of individual and team activities.



Physical Education provides pupils with the opportunities to:

- Become skilful and intelligent performers
- Acquire and develop skills
- Perform with an increasing physical competence and confidence in a broad range of physical
activities and contexts
- Learn how to select and apply skills and tactics
- Develop their ideas in a creative way
- Set targets for themselves and compete against others in a healthy environment
- Understand what it takes to succeed

Pupils at New Hall Preparatory School are able to compete in a number of sporting fixtures and competitions. We have won many awards and trophies for our sporting accomplishments in a variety of sports across the board. You would be very welcome to come and join our team!
