Welcome from the Director of Sport
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the first week of Prep School fixtures at Seaford College for this academic year. A particularly warm welcome goes to our new pupils and their families who are joining our community for the very first time. This marks the beginning of an exciting journey for your children, one that will see them grow through Prep School, develop through the Senior years, and flourish in the Sixth Form.
At Seaford, we believe that sport is at the heart of that journey. It not only gives children joy and energy but also nurtures friendships, resilience, teamwork and self-belief. These early experiences are especially important: the enjoyment, support and encouragement students feel now will shape their confidence and their love of sport and physical activity for years to come.
Sport at Seaford is not just for those on the pitch; it is for all of us. As parents, families and friends, your presence on the sidelines makes these moments even more special. It is in the cheers, the smiles and the shared celebrations that lifelong memories are created. Being part of the Seaford community means coming together to support our children and enjoying the experiences alongside them.
We also look forward to Friday’s Prep School Cross Country, such a significant event for the school. It will bring together pupils, staff and families across our locality in a wonderful atmosphere that promises to showcase the very best of Seaford Sport. My sincere thanks go to the many colleagues across the College who make it possible, from coaches and teachers to grounds, estates, catering and support staff. These events only happen through the dedication of so many.
As we embark on this first week of fixtures, I hope you share the sense of excitement that fills our Prep School. May our pupils play with a smile, embrace the challenge and, most importantly, enjoy the experience. These are the first steps on a lifelong journey through Seaford Sport, and we are delighted to be walking it with you.

Additional Medical Support
To continue to ensure that we are providing proactive, gold-standard care to our students, the school is in partnership with Return2Play, the UK’s leading sports medicine partners for schools. Feedback from other schools and parents utilising their expertise is strong, while our own experience has been overwhelmingly positive thus far.
If you have any queries regarding your account, then please get in touch with Return2Play directly via hello@return2play.org.uk and they will be happy to help. The helpdesk runs 7 days a week.
Wet Weather and Cancellations
As a team, we will always do everything within our control to ensure fixtures and recreational activities go ahead as scheduled. Any changes to the schedule will be communicated via the respective sports coaches and clarion call.
Dogs on the School Site
We are a dog-friendly site; however, can I remind all parents that dogs should always be on a lead while onsite, and should not be on the field of play. If challenged by a member of staff, please be polite, respect the campus rules and remember that the safety of our students is paramount.
Parents and Supporters – Code of Conduct
For our core values (RESPECT, TEAMWORK, COURAGE, TRUST) to be upheld and our sports programme to be truly successful, it takes the cooperation of all involved – players, coaches, officials, staff, spectators and parents. The College and the staff have spent some time and effort reinforcing these sporting values within Seaford, and we believe it is essential that we include parents and friends of the College in this process.
One of the key questions we ask all supporters to consider is:
‘How does our touchline behaviour shape character and enhance the enjoyment for all the players during the game?’
Please let the coaches coach so that you can enjoy the parental match day experience. As a team and a college, we value performance and desired learning behaviours over the scoreboard – win, lose or draw, it is about the experience and the students making memories with their friends. Thank you for your support with this! Successful College sport is built upon strong partnerships between the students, parents and the College.
We look forward to seeing you all on the sidelines, both home and away, and thank you for your continued support of the Seaford Sport programme.
