Extra-Curricular Activities

In addition to the chargeable extra clubs, the after-school clubs can include the following:

The majority of extra-curricular activities are free. However, there are a small number of clubs / activities where a specialist instructor is employed to take the sessions and a termly charge applies.

Chargeable activities include the following:

Ballet

The Pre-Prep children have sessions during the afternoon and Prep school children in the after-school activity times. There are regular sessions for the parents to see their children perform.

Golf

Facilities available for golf include the mini golf course, driving nets and the putting green. In the winter, use is also made of the floodlit artificial pitches.

Horse riding

Riding School Lessons

Children are taken via minibus to the local riding stables for riding lessons. 

Pevelings is an approved Pony Club Centre and has two floodlit outdoor arenas allowing the children to ride throughout the year. The children are taught in groups according to their ability.

This club is open to all Prep School pupils (Years 3 - 8) and there may be a waiting list subject to demand. Lessons are charged at the prevailing rate according to the number of lessons received. Children need to have their own jodhpurs, riding boots and gloves, but hats can be hired if necessary. Body protectors are optional for flat work, but must be worn when jumping in the field or over 2' in the school.

Horse riding - own pony

Children with their own ponies who wish to be considered for representing the school in competition should make contact with Mrs Cobb. Teams regularly represent the school in disciplines such as Show Jumping, One Day Eventing and Arena Eventing.

Laser Pistol Shooting

This is a very popular club with the children and the school has achieved national success through competition. 

Judo

Judo is taken in the sports hall by Finn Gleeson. Pupils are prepared for gradings and, where appropriate, they represent the school in IAPS competitions.

Tennis

In addition to the tennis available to all pupils as part of the curriculum in the Summer Term and as part of the after-school activity programme, specialist tennis coaching is available with our School tennis coach, Miss Parkin-Bowes.
