Promoting Healthy Bodies and Minds

Sport at Hoe Bridge Pre-Prep School

The aim of PE and Games at Hoe Bridge School is to develop confident and happy individuals by allowing them to try new skills and to encourage children of any skill level to develop their physical skills and fitness in both team and individual sports. Lessons are taught by specialist staff who teach physical education and sport throughout the school. In Addition, we believe that being regularly active enhances not only the children's academic performance but also, more importantly their physical and emotional well-being. A healthy body can often lead to a healthy mind. 

Fundamental skills are the key focus, developing agility, balance, coordination during EYFS phase. The children in Twigs and Nursery complete the Rise British Gymnastics award and the Bikeability course during the academic year. 

Our curriculum is broad and balanced in Year 1 and 2 so that the children can develop not only their gymnastics skills but also their skills for team sports, such as Football, Netball, Cricket, and Rugby. Children explore flight and vaulting in Year 2 and thrive and get creative in Year 1 by performing James Bond dances.  Lessons take place both in our well-equipped hall and playground at School plus our amazing fields.

We offer all-year-round swimming for Year 1 and 2 children (swimming offsite at Woking Pool in the Park during the Autumn and Spring Term and in our outdoor pool in the summer term) and Reception start weekly Swimming lessons from the Summer term. 

All children from Reception to Year 2 take part in our school Cross-Country Race in the Autumn Term and Sports Day in the Summer Term. 

Our children compete locally in many mini-festivals and meet against local schools in Year 1 and 2. We compete at the Danes Hill Cross Country event every year and achieve huge success. We host fun fitness events and gymnastics competitions at school where children take part with other schools to test their abilities in a friendly environment.
