For many children sport is an area where they can excel, gain confidence and develop self esteem. Sport and games also encourage team work, co-operation, determination and a healthy lifestyle. Here at Clarendon Cottage Prep school sports are taken seriously and one advantage of being part of a small school is that its not just a sporting elite that get to represent the school. We make full use of community resources, providing transport to the local recreation centre, Soccer Dome, Monton Sports Club and Eccles College. Some of these facilities also have the advantage of being indoor and usable all year. The school competes successfully with other schools across a range of sports including; football, netball, athletics, swimming, rugby and cross country. We also have various sporting opportunities within school such as the annual Sports Day, gym class, PE and afterschool sports club and football. Clarendon Cottage Prep School also now offers enrichment days in which our children can experience lots of new (to some) sports and activities such as mountain biking, skiing, horse riding and much more! We also run an annual trip to outdoors and adventure pursuits; PGL, giving our students a fantastic opportunity to experience all kinds of outdoor education such a kayaking, archery, abseiling, orienteering and even a high ropes course! Sporting excellence is encouraged and celebrated here at Clarendon Cottage Prep School, we believe it is vital to providing our students with a well rounded, happy school experience.
