At Loyola Prep School, we believe that sport is an essential part of a well-rounded education. Our robust sports program offers boys the chance to engage in a variety of sports while developing teamwork, discipline, and a love for physical activity. With great facilities and a commitment to nurturing talent, we prepare our students for the opportunities and challenges of secondary school sports and beyond.

A Wide Range of Sporting Opportunities

We take pride in providing a dynamic sports curriculum that includes:

• Football: Compete against local schools, take part in national tournaments and our inter-house tournament.
• Cricket: Participating in friendly matches and inter school competitions.
• Hockey: Develop skills on and off the field in this fast-paced sport.
• Rugby: Build strength and strategy through games against other local schools and our inter-house tournament.

By competing with local schools and engaging in tournaments, our students experience the camaraderie and sportsmanship that come with team sports.

Facilities

We have outstanding outdoor facilities designed to meet the needs of all our pupils:

• AstroTurf Pitch: Ideal for P.E. and football matches.
• Full-Size Hard Court: A space used for play and team-building exercises.
• Table Tennis Area: A favourite for both leisure and friendly competition.
• Pirate Ship: Inspiring creativity and physical play.
• Lower Playground: A space just for EYFS & KS1.

These dedicated areas ensure our boys have ample opportunities to train, compete, and play in a safe and stimulating environment.

When the weather moves us indoors, our large, spacious hall becomes the hub of sporting activity. Equipped with climbing apparatus and plenty of room for indoor games, it provides a space where students can continue to develop their skills and stay active.

Celebrating Sporting Success

Loyola Prep School has a proud tradition of celebrating athletic excellence. Our Sports Captains lead by example, inspiring their peers and upholding the school’s sporting spirit. Each year, we recognise outstanding performances and achievements with awards and trophies, instilling pride and a sense of accomplishment in our young athletes.

Preparing for Secondary School and Beyond

Our sports program is designed to mirror the opportunities students will encounter in secondary school. By offering a wide range of sports, access to competitive games, and opportunities for leadership, Loyola boys develop the confidence and skills they need to excel in their future sporting endeavours.

We are proud to say that our emphasis on teamwork, resilience, and fair play helps our boys transition seamlessly into the demands of secondary school sports while cultivating a lifelong passion for physical activity.
