Outside of the Classroom
Education does not begin and end in the classroom.
We are committed to a well-rounded, holistic approach that values both academic and personal development. Time spent beyond lessons, through engaging, enjoyable and purposeful activities, is equally important in supporting each child’s growth.
Co-curricular
Our co‑curricular programme at BCS Prep brings the four Cs – Curiosity, Commitment, Creativity and Community – to life. It offers pupils a wide range of activities and experiences that complement their academic learning, nurture their passions and help them develop new skills.
From ballet, yoga and choir to cooking club, geography, sports, trampolining, dance, music and more, there is something for every interest. Pupils are encouraged to explore, challenge themselves and enjoy learning beyond the classroom.
Some of our clubs are led by expert external coaches who bring specialist knowledge and high‑level skills, while others are run by our wonderful staff, whose enthusiasm and creativity help pupils discover new interests in a supportive environment.
The programme runs at lunchtime and after school:
3.30–4.30pm: Reception, Year 1 and 2
4.00–5.00pm: Years 3–6
Selected clubs are also available during the school day for our Early Years children, ensuring that every pupil can benefit from enrichment opportunities at a level that suits them.

Outdoor Learning
BCS Prep offers a rich and inspiring outdoor learning programme, set within a woodland environment where children can connect with and explore the natural world. This hands-on, immersive approach enriches the curriculum and sparks curiosity, creativity and a love of learning.
Through outdoor experiences, pupils are encouraged to be active, collaborate with others and take managed risks in a supportive setting. They develop confidence, resilience and independence, while engaging socially and reflecting on their learning. Above all, the programme provides the freedom to explore, discover and learn through a wide range of senses and experiences.
