At lunctimes and after school there are lots of activities that the children can choose to do. Many of these are sporting activities such as swimming, cricket and hockey, which the children are playing in games lessons or PE but which they can choose to play out of season or to do more of, as in the case of swimming.
However there is also the opportunity to learn new skills in other sports such as riding, golf, basketball, boxercise, lacrosse, trampolining, modern, tap and ballet dance and shooting.
Riding
Following on from her success at the Senior School with the Equestrian and Polo programme, we are delighted that Paula Watson has joined us on a Thursday afternoon to take some of our girls and boys to Summerhouse Riding School for lessons. There is an extra charge for this club.
Golf
The Senior School has a very active golf club who play matches against other schools and have recently been on a golfing holiday. Several pupils are playing off below 10. In the Prep School we have a weekly golf club. Boys and girls get the oppotunity to go to Brickhampton Golf Club for a lesson at their practise range. Many of these pupils go on to be members of the Senior School golf team. There is a minimal extra charge for this club.

Pupils are taught basketball in their PE lessons but also have the opportunity to join the Basketball Club. There is no charge for this club.
