Sporting Ethos
"Enjoy the journey, enjoy every moment, and quit worrying about winning and losing" Matt Biondi, Olympic swimming champion.
At Culford we believe that the years in the Prep School represent the key window for athletic development. Our focus is for children to develop their skills and competitive experiences in a progressive manner in order to enjoy a lifelong participation in sport. From the early years of developing the ABC’s of athleticism (agility, balance and co-ordination), to the application of specific sports skills in a competitive match, we hope that sport at Culford Prep never loses its sense of fun and enjoyment.
At the core are team-sports, and an ethos in which competition is embraced by pupils of all abilities. The opportunity to contribute to a team engenders a sense of identity and pride in the school. In addition, Culford provides breadth and excellence in coaching to ensure continuity for those pupils whose aspirations are found outside the arena of traditional games.
Culford Prep offers Sports Scholarships for 11+ entry as well as specific Rugby, Swimming and Tennis Scholarships from age 10. Please download our Scholarships, Exhibitions & Bursaries Brochure for more information or contact the Admissions Office on 01284 385308 and they will be pleased to post a copy to you.
People who enjoy what they are doing invariably do it well; this is the bedrock of the sporting programme at Culford.
