Welcome from the Director of Sport
What a brilliant week it has been for Seaford Sport in the Prep School. The Cross Country has once again been a standout occasion, with so many students taking part and giving their all. It was inspiring to see the effort, energy and enthusiasm from start to finish. Well done to every runner who represented themselves and their school with such pride.
It has also been wonderful to see the sheer number of students enjoying their sport across so many different activities this week. Whether on the fields, in the pool, or taking part in fixtures, the spirit of participation and the joy of playing together has been clear to see. A special mention must go to those who have shone in their individual sports, from sailing to equestrian, and from polo to water polo. All are fantastic achievements that reflect the depth and variety of talent in our Prep School.
As always, preparation and respect remain at the heart of what we do. Being ready to give your best and then taking the time afterwards to connect with teammates, opponents and supporters is such an important part of the experience. These traditions are what make sport memorable, and they help to build the values that last well beyond the playing fields.
Looking ahead, I know there is much excitement for those heading off on the Year 7 trip. Best of luck to you all – I am sure it will be a brilliant adventure. There are plenty of other opportunities on the horizon for everyone, and I look forward to sharing more about these with you all in a Prep School assembly.
Finally, a reminder to check SOCS, our Seaford Sport website, for all live updates and fixture details. It is the best way to keep on top of everything that is happening. There is a lot!

Medical Provision
This week, we will be supported by the Seaford College Physio Team and our Medical Centre.
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.
