The school's aim is to fulfil every pupil's physical potential and to instil a life-long interest in sport and physical activity. This is achieved by equipping the children with the necessary knowledge, skills and fitness acquired through the comprehensive curriculum that is taught from Nash House to Upper School. There are three full-time PE teachers, a Head of Lower School PE, and a team of PE specialists who assist with afternoon games.
Competition is an important ingredient of the PE programme.
There are teams in most sports, and every attempt is made to include as many pupils in school teams as possible. Particularly gifted youngsters are given every opportunity to have trials for, and play for, Kent teams. In the holidays, the school organizes riding, skiing and adventure trips. Among the activities available to children in term-time are ballet, board games, chess, computers, DT, cooking, sewing and short tennis. There are French clubs and Maths and Geography clinics as well as 'The Grey Matter Club' for Year 8 children.
