At the junior levels of Oldfield (Year 7) and Juniors (Years 8 & 9), Moore House came out on top, winning Oldfield and sharing top spot in juniors with Vaughan.
In the higher age groups of Colts (Years 10 & 11) and Seniors (Sixth Form), Norwood took the top prize in both.

As well as the House competition there was much individual success and a number of great performances at Sports Day 2019.
In Oldfield Tio Eniade starred in four events, winning the 200m, 300m, 800m and High Jump.
At Juniors, Jordon Andrews won the 100m, came second in the 300m and finished strongly to win the relay for Norwood.
Kai Waldron at Colts shared victory in the High Jump and just missed out on victory in the 200m. He then took the first leg in a winning relay run for Butler.
At Seniors, AJ Agbede shone, with three individual victories in 100m, 200m and Long Jump, and team victory in the relay for Vaughan. This performance saw AJ named overall athlete of the day.
We provide a wide range of sporting activities and opportunities for all pupils.
At our Prep School we concur with educational theorists who emphasise the importance of the creative mind and ‘emotional intelligence’ and ‘wellbeing’ – the need to develop the whole personality and our pupil’s imaginations especially. Drama has the power to liberate the mind.
We encourage our pupils to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. 
At our Prep School, Computing covers the use of electronic technology in all its forms, including computers and other communication devices.
• What is religion?
Art is an integral part of our Prep School’s curriculum, providing our pupils with a unique means of expressing their ideas by allowing them to explore new thoughts and give life to their creative minds.
History is taught throughout the School and pupils are encouraged to find out about events and peoples.
Planet Earth is our only home. It is an mind-blowing, diverse and constantly changing place of awesome beauty and power. 
French is the language of our nearest neighbours, probably the easiest foreign language for English speakers to learn and, after English, one of the most widely-learned languages worldwide.
The core of every science lesson at our Prep School is about developing every pupil’s curiosity in the world around them. 
Mathematics is a key subject for children of all ages at our Prep School.
English is taught using lively and creative methods through a variety of texts and resources incorporating ICT from Pre-Prep onwards.
