Preparatory P.E.

Physical Education

Physical Education is a key 'pillar' in the broad curriculum offered by Chinthurst. At Chinthurst, all boys participate in a wide range of physical activities specifically designed to improve their levels of confidence and skill. Attention is paid during all sessions to developing pupils' technical skills, speed, stamina, and agility.

Underpinning the entire Physical Education programme is the rich tradition of sport at Chinthurst over the last 100 years. Rugby and football are played by all the boys during the Christmas and Easter terms, whilst Cricket is played in the Summer term. In addition to these three major sports, Chinthurst also offers comprehensive and competitive programs in swimming, tennis, athletics, golf and squash. Swimming, health related fitness, gymnastics, basketball and SAQ's are also fully covered within the P.E. curriculum. Whilst the school has achieved a high level of national success in a number of these sports, it remains our core philosophy that all skill levels are catered for, so that boys are afforded the opportunity to develop at their own pace and within an environment that engenders confidence and enjoyment whilst educating into a healthy lifestyle.

The school is justly proud of its history of significant sporting achievements, home and abroad offering sporting tours to every pupil. These range from domestic tours to Bath, Suffolk and the Isle of Wight and overseas experiences including Jersey, Ireland, France, Italy, Canada and South Africa.
