[Pupils’] many and varied interests are supported by an extensive programme of extra-curricular clubs
– ISI, 2020
At Sydenham High Prep School our co-curricular offering is called Body, Mind & Soul, with clubs and activities focused on targeting each of these areas.
Pupils in the Prep School enjoy a rich and varied school day with generous allocations of time and specialist teaching and this is further reflected in our wide ranging co-curricular programme. We offer over 60 clubs each week that run either before, after or during the school day which means the school buzzes with children having fun, honing their skills, discovering new passions, and exploring their talents.
We believe that clubs offer pupils a wide range of new, fun experiences and challenges. Although entirely optional, we would recommend that all pupils participate in at least one club per week and where possible more than one club. All teacher-run clubs are available for no additional charge. LAMDA, Ballet, Tap lessons, Gems Performing Arts, Spanish and Circus skills club are run by external providers at a charge.
In addition to a wide range of sport, music, art and drama activities, we offer an extensive range of clubs which change on a termly basis. These include activities such as debating, philosophy, fencing, calligraphy and chess.
