At KES Prep, we know that the best learning happens everywhere – not just in the classroom! Our clubs are where children discover hidden talents, make brilliant friends, and have great fun whilst learning new skills.
We've built our programme around four simple ideas: Academic Enrichment, Performing Arts, Sport, and Social Skills and Teamwork.
Every term we publish a fresh clubs list based on what our children want to try and what our teachers are excited to share. Our clubs are run by our own staff and some fantastic external experts, so your child will always be in safe, encouraging hands.
We'd love every child to have a go at something new. There really is something for everyone at KES Prep!
For more information, please contact the school office or visit our website.
Our co-curricular programme is one of the most exciting parts of school life. I love seeing children discover something new — whether it’s them having the opportunity to feed the farm animals, scoring their first goal in football, or coding a robot! These clubs nurture confidence, curiosity, and community in such a natural and joyful way.
