Summer Term 2026

American Sports Experience the thrill of American sports! From the high-speed action of the American Football (TAG) to the nonstop excitement of the Basketball and the rich tradition of Baseball, there's something for every fan. This American Sports Activity will deliver unforgettable moments.

Ballet Following the Cecchetti ballet method, ballet classes at Framlingham Prep are taught by Miss Emily - a former dancer and current Associate Dance Artist at English National Ballet. Classes consist of a combination of syllabus and imaginative free ballet, instilling a love of dance, and an understanding of the core discipline and control which ballet requires.

Providing an opportunity for progression and achievement, children may take class exams, should they wish to.

Cricket This cricket session will be a fun, action packed affair where we'll focus on improving the fundamentals in our budding cricketers. Mr Northcote, who leads the session, says that no experience is necessary but a positive, hardworking attitude is essential! Provide these and we'll have a blast and develop in this wonderful sport, along the way.

Croquet Step onto the lawn for a game of tactics and touch. Master your swing, plan your angles and outwit your opponents in this classic game of skill and strategy.

Cross-Country A valuable opportunity to get ahead of the cross-country season with Mr Northcote in this early morning club. Short and sharp, we’ll split the time together into two focuses; technique and skill development. Covering running techniques, intervals, endurance runs and pace setting to name just a few.

Fishing Cast off and give it a go. Learn the basics of angling, patience and technique as you try your luck by the water. Calm, focused and quietly competitive — who will land the catch of the day? Takes place at a local facility. More information to follow.

Football We will dive into an action-packed football session designed to boost your skills and passion for the sport. Coaches will lead you through a series of exercises focusing on key football techniques like dribbling, passing, shooting, and defending before playing games to make sure this remains a lively and enjoyable activity.

Golf The golf activity runs across two different locations; Aldeburgh and Fynn Valley Clubs. The venue is very much dependent on the time of year, light and weather but what is a constant is the valuable time you’ll get to master your stroke, through a short, sharp technical lesson. Hitting lots of balls with a dedicated coach to interject and support when need will allow you to develop at speed through this activity.

Horse Riding Horse riding lessons at the wonderful Valley Farm. This activity is

chargeable.

Junior Golf A chance to develop golf skills in a relaxed and supportive setting on the Prep School back field. Children should bring their own clubs as they practise technique, accuracy and control through fun challenges and games.

AT FRAMLINGHAM COLLEGE WE CELEBRATE EVERY INDIVIDUAL. THERE IS NO TYPICAL FRAMLINGHAMIAN, NO SINGULAR PATH THAT WE TAKE.

We are academics, actors, musicians, expeditioners, sports people, innovators, scientists, ruminators, decision makers, story tellers, teammates, artists, fun lovers, nurturers and thought provokers.

Often, we are many things within one.

BUT WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUAL, EACH WITH OUR OWN STORY.
