Sport at Uplands Prep is an essential part of the daily curriculum. The sports programme aims to give every pupil in the school the opportunity to play each sport offered during a particular season. This aim is achieved by the use of a structured afternoon programme which allows to pupils the opportunity to participate in the wide variety of sports offered in our afternoon programme. As far as possible we try to give the top sportsmen and women the opportunity to achieve their very best while creating an environment in which the average pupil can play sport and perhaps most importantly, enjoy his or her sport.

Two big sports fields, one the main cricket oval and the other big enough to accommodate a full 400m athletics track, are fully utilised by the pupils in a comprehensive sports programme. There are six all-weather tennis and netball courts and a 25m swimming pool which sees regular inter-house and inter-school swimming galas.

The school’s PTA has been busy in recent years, fundraising for pool improvements, and as a result we have paved surrounds and covered stands as well as a user-friendly salt-water chlorinator and change room.

The spacious school hall is used for the teaching of such extras as Modern dancing, Ballet and Rhythmic Gymnastics.

Unlike many other schools which are associated with an adjoining college, we do not share any facilities with our big brother, which means full utilisation of all facilities by the Uplands Prep School's pupils, both on weekdays and over weekends.
