Sport

The investment in sporting opportunities for pupils is aimed at teaching the rewards of teamwork and achievement. The location of The Falcons Preparatory School and our well-equipped sports hall affords a great opportunity for a comprehensive sporting programme. More time playing sport and learning rather than travelling is a rare commodity in a school in London. With Richmond Athletic Club, The Old Deer Park, Richmond Baths, two sets of tennis courts and a golf club on our doorstep we are indeed spoilt for facilities.

Each term there is a focus on a major sport including football, rugby and cricket. These are taught in games lessons and in after school clubs giving the boys time to refine their skills as individuals and as a team. PE focuses on ball skills, bat and racket skills and gymnastics all helping with spatial awareness and coordination. The boys also receive regular swimming lessons throughout the year, taught by external swimming instructors. In all of these activities we are promoting fair play and teamwork.
