Pre-Prep & Nursery Curriculum Physical Development
Physical Development
Physical development is as vital to the young child as the numeracy and literacy skills. Through gymnastics, games, dance and swimming we endeavour to instil a love of physical exertion, the fun of playing team games, the thrill of winning and the satisfaction of individual achievements.
Children learn to swim at Clayesmore Prep from the age of 2 ½ onwards in our own heated indoor swimming pool. They have weekly sessions, and there is even an annual gala. Games and PE lessons twice a week take care of the children’s physical progression and, as a celebration of this, Sports Day in both the Pre-Prep and the Nursery is a fun occasion with everyone taking part.
Apart from the curriculum time allocated to all of these areas of physical education we offer an exciting array of after school clubs that include football, squash, basketball and tennis coaching and a gymnastics club.
