We believe that sport should be fun for everyone at Brentwood Preparatory School. Every week, all children take part in at least four hours of sport, led by our large team of specialist sports teachers and coaches. A wide range of extra curricular sport is on offer to all pupils before, during and after school - some activities are just for fun, others enable children to train and compete at a high level. Here is a list of what is on offer at the Preparatory School:
