Competitive Sport at Windrush Valley Prep School Oxfordshire
We are immensely proud of our sporting pedigree and our outstanding sporting achievements. At Windrush Valley Prep School Oxfordshire, we play competitive sport in a wide variety of games and sports, including, team games/PE, athletics (track and field), swimming, cross-country, football, rugby, hockey and netball. Our extensive sports programme has resulted in pupils competing at the highest level in swimming, athletics and cross country. For the last 10 years, our pupils have competed at a national level at the Independent Schools Association championship. We also regularly compete at sport with other Oxfordshire school teams.
In addition to competitive sport, we motivate children to adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle and an appreciation and love for sporting and fitness activities, both inside school and outside of school. All children have weekly PE lessons which include swimming lessons. We also have access to the Ascot playing field for outdoor sports and physical education. As part of our extended day programme, we also run several after-school clubs which focus on fitness including, yoga and indoor hockey. Through sport, we instil the foundations of team work, camaraderie, individual performance and leadership. The children have fun whilst also competing. Our extensive and inspiring curriculum, small class sizes, experienced teaching staff and sporting pedigree, delivers academic, behaviour and sporting excellence.

We challenge our pupils to be the best they can, to reach beyond the norm, whatever their abilities. We coach, inspire and nurture children in all aspects of their schooling, including sport.

Therefore, they must wear the full games/PE uniform and uniform outdoor clothing (waterproof jacket, fleece hat/gloves/scarf) when necessary.
