At Banstead Prep School sport plays a vital part in every child’s development. Guided by our belief that every pupil should be “Free to be Me,” we provide an environment where children can grow in confidence, build resilience, and discover their unique strengths through physical activity and teamwork.
Our full-sized Astroturf pitch sits at the heart of a suite of facilities designed to inspire and challenge through sport. Used for hockey and football, this all-weather space offers the opportunity for outdoor sport all year round and is also where our home fixtures take place against other local schools.
For track and field, we offer dedicated areas for long jump and high jump, along with a 200m field running track used during the summer term. Our netball and tennis courts are available throughout the school year for lessons, training, and fixtures.
In addition, our spacious sports hall provides an excellent environment for a wide range of indoor activities, including basketball, indoor football, gymnastics, tennis, netball, and cricket, with nets and gym equipment supporting high-quality PE lessons. A dedicated dance studio offers a more intimate space, perfect for dance, fitness, and small group activities.
Our 17.5-metre swimming pool gives children the opportunity to develop their skills from a young age, progressing from beginner strokes to confident swimmers who can compete in galas as part of the school’s successful swim squad. As part of our commitment to the local community, the pool is also hired by other schools and clubs for lessons and training.
The newly built pavilion, equipped with modern changing rooms and toilet facilities, offers comfort and convenience for children and visiting schools. This space supports the practical needs of our busy sporting calendar.
Sport plays a vital role in nurturing the physical, social, and emotional development of every child. Whether they’re scoring a winning goal, diving into the pool, or simply learning the importance of fair play, our children are empowered to grow and thrive in a safe, supportive environment.
