Sport

Sport is an important part of the holistic learning experience at Claremont and we provide first class coaching from highly qualified staff in excellent facilities.

The sporting philosophy at the school is that every child should have the opportunity to be involved in sporting activities and to represent the school. At each stage of the school, students have the chance to develop their physical education and exposure to a range of sports.

Laying Foundations: Pre-Prep

Sport starts early for Claremont students with our Pre-Prep students involved in a range of different sports. We teach key skills early on, such as throwing, catching, balance and coordination, so that by Year 3, our pupils are eager to keep learning and later to compete.

Building Confidence: Prep School

As their resilience develops, our Prep School pupils discover their own personal sporting passions. Lunchtime and after-school sports clubs provide lots of opportunities for pupils to spend even more time on what they love or to try something new in a welcoming environment.

Everyone is encouraged to participate fully in sporting life, with a broad range of sports on offer.. Our ‘core’ sports are Football, Hockey, Rugby and Cricket for the boys and Hockey, Football, Netball and Cricket for the girls. We play regular fixtures with a large number of local schools, with children often representing the school on a weekly basis.

The Prep School also has a vibrant swimming programme, taking advantage of our indoor pool at the Senior School site and taking part in regular training and Galas with local schools.

Senior School & Sixth Form

Children joining our Senior School have further opportunities to develop their skills across the core sports. Again, all have the opportunity to represent the school in fixtures. The core sports of Football, Hockey, Cricket and Netball are supplemented with other sports such as Basketball and Swimming.

Our main aim is to cultivate a lasting love for sport which goes beyond winning. Emphasising values like hard work, commitment, and teamwork, we highlight the significance of every individual’s contribution. A competitive spirit is important, but it is also important to learn humility when winning and graciousness in defeat.
