Education of the whole person must include physical development alongside development in other curriculum areas.

In Loreto Prep there is a well-developed programme of sports and physical education which, in addition to promoting a healthy life-style, enables our pupils to accept success and failure graciously and to co-operate with others using their best qualities to contribute to the greater good of the whole group.

In addition to class lessons in gymnastics and games skills there is a wide range of extra-curricular activities including netball, rounders, cross-country, athletics and swimming. Pupils compete in local and national sporting events, achieving excellent results.
