We run a diverse range of activities from T'ai Chi to the Pre-Prep maths club.  There is a drama club, writing club and library club.  Bat and Ball club for Pre-Prep helps to give an enjoyable introduction to striking and fielding games. Our hugely popular chess club is a real highlight of Tuesdays in the Autumn and Spring terms, children often play for fun, sometimes outdoors and we have a great deal of success in National chess competitions.
 
Music plays an enormous part in all that we do here -  click for more details of strings groups, jazz band, guitar and ukulele club.  There is a loud samba band and a super percussion group.  We also run many lunchtime and after-school sports clubs.  
 
Running club before school on Friday mornings is a favourite with lots of fun being had with regular dressing up themes.  After school opportunities to be active include: cricket, netball, hockey, rounders, tennis, football, fencing and rugby clubs.

 

Pre-Prep Clubs


'Crash, Bang, Wallop!' - the loud percussion group starts every term with a BANG! The corridors in the Pre-Prep building will be filled with music and laughter for all to hear. Any child in Years 1-2 may join in the fun, enjoying making music and performing - brooms and dustbins, drums and a huge range of percussion instruments are used to great effect - see right for the group performing at the Primary Live event.  

The popular Andy Tucker Football Skills session is again up and running as the football season starts - fast and furious little ones in pursuit of the ball!

 'Strum It!' our Ukulele and Guitar group, has again proved popular this year.  There are many brightly coloured instruments being seen around school and sessions mix lots of fun with focused learning. Last year the group performed superbly at Primary Live and at the School Fete.  Well done to all who did so well at such a young age - it is lovely to see music enjoyed and is great to see Berkhampstead's super music reputation looking to the future!
