- Independent Private Day School for Girls and Boys aged 3-11
Sport
Opportunity for all.
From the earliest age all of our children benefit from specialist coaching and lots of physical activity. 
They learn ball skills and balance and become confident with their bodies as they work independently, in pairs and small groups. They enjoy these activities which allow them to develop the fundamental skills needed for more serious sport later on.

As children progress through the school, we increasingly expose them to team sports - modified to be age-appropriate and our trained staff give coaching in the rules, tactics and techniques.
Our aim is for pupils to leave Berkhampstead with a love of sport and health-related fitness, with a habit of taking physical activity that will stay with them throughout their lives and with the skills and confidence to take on and tackle any sport that they may go on to encounter.
We play a huge number of matches against other schools and our inclusive approach means that every child will be involved in a school team at some level.
The Information section of the website has a list of fixtures, so you can see just how much is going on.
What do we do, when?
Rugby and hockey are the major sports in the Autumn term, whilst the focus is on football and netball in the Spring term.
Many minor sports also flourish here and these include cross-country, swimming, girls' football, lacrosse, basketball and table tennis.
Hugely popular is the Running Club which meets before school on Friday mornings come rain or shine and is a great start to the day!
In addition most break-times see a great deal of football on the playground, with both boys and girls taking part.
In the Summer term children have regular fixtures in cricket and rounders. Approximately 75% of all children in Years 3-6 attend School Clubs at the Victoria Cricket Ground on Thursdays after school.
Tennis and athletics are also played. Sports Day is a really popular occasion in the Summer term.
