Saturdays

‘Something for everyone’

This year, Saturday mornings have been enjoyed by all Sherborne Prep pupils in year 3 to 8. The activities are fun and varied, making a refreshing change from the normal weekday at school.

In the Michaelmas term, our children took part in activities ranging from Samba Drumming to Horse Riding to Squash. We added Photography to our programme and the senior pupils took some wonderful photos, capturing the beautiful autumnal colour. Tennis and Horse Riding were as popular as ever this term, with all spaces being booked up almost straight away.

In the Lent term, our popular Junk Modelling Club continued to recycle household objects to make sculptures and replicas of famous UK and worldwide landmarks. The intrepid Forest School group braved the cold forest, learning valuable new skills often accompanied by a hot chocolate round the campfire to keep warm and have a chat.

In the Trinity term, the children enjoyed the warmer weather, with many activities taking place outside. Yoga in the shade of a tree, Cricket Club in the Lower Paddock Nets and Glee Club for those wanting to sing, dance and act in the sunshine. We even added a Cookery Club this term, led by our Chartwells Head Chef. The pupils made some tasty treats, including delicious, fruity crumbles! Yummy!

Our program will continue to evolve and change next academic year to provide different types of learning tailored to appeal to all ages of the SPS, and most importantly – be super fun!
