Besides the acquisition of physical skills, we believe that non-physical attributes are equally as important.

Sport promotes co-operation, self-discipline, sharing, self-esteem, leadership, appreciation and  perseverance.

At Monmouth Prep School, we recognise the important role that sport and exercise plays in our children’s everyday lives.

Our subject-specialist PE staff deliver fun and engaging sessions from Nursery into Key Stage 1 through to Key Stage 2.

Using their skills and knowledge, our experienced PE staff teach our children fundamental movement and ball skills during PE lessons to build confidence and create agile, athletic sports people.

We have outstanding sports facilities at Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools, including two indoor swimming pools.

As a result, our boys and girls swim weekly all year round from Nursery to Year 4, enabling them to swim safely, competently and competitively.

We believe in the benefits of team and competitive sport – and prepare our girls and boys for these exciting challenges throughout Years 3 and 4. Our pupils play their first competitive fixtures against other schools from Year 5 onwards.

We encourage every child in Years 5 and 6 to play regularly in our fixtures and it’s always a joy to see so many boys and girls representing Monmouth Prep School each week.

Our children always enjoy playing at home using our outstanding indoor or outdoor sports facilities and pitches, or travel away to enjoy the hospitality of schools within our vast and varied fixtures list.

There are opportunities for everyone. Our pupils can try their hand at team sports, including hockey, rugby, netball, football and cricket; swim competitively or compete at a high level in Cross-Country running.
