At Lambrook, we are keen to encourage our children to develop their interests and explore the things that they are passionate about, whether it be the outdoor environment and its ecosystems, the digital world, the history of cricket, a love for singing, a passion for science or an interest in the world of outer space! Each pupil is unique and our priority is that we recognise and nurture their intrigue, providing time and opportunities to develop their passions.
Each Monday all of our pupils in the Prep School have a dedicated ‘Enrichment Afternoon’ with opportunities for our pupils continue to complement their academic studies in areas including, Farming, Bee Keeping, Chess, Mountain Biking, Fencing, Judo, Film Making, Scuba Diving, Squash, Song writing, Mini Masterchef, Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Golf (on our 9 hole course), Polo, Podcast making, Sewing, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis, Life Saving, Survival, Debating and Public Speaking. Pupils are encouraged to choose something that interests them (without adult guidance) and to try a new enrichment activity each half term.
Children from across the school put themselves forward to be a part of these various clubs and have also set up their own initiatives. These have included a pupil-led Rock Band, a student newspaper ‘The Lambrook Times’ and an Eco Team represented by all year groups from Reception to Year 8.
In addition, pupils take part in various Clubs before and after school and during break and lunch times. These might include a debating or discussion club, being a part of a choir or band, putting on a drama production, playing hockey, netball, cricket, rugby or football, or taking up something completely different, like clay pigeon shooting, there is certainly something for everyone!
Unique to Lambrook, our co-curricular programme, named CARPE, is where our pupils have the opportunity to take part in a range of co-curricular activities, relating to the Community, Arts, Recreation, Pioneering and the Environment. Think Duke of Edinburgh, but for Prep School.
Trips
The School offers trips for all year groups, and has recently taken pupils to various destinations, including Sweden, France, Italy, Iceland, Somerset, Dorset, South Africa and the Isle of Wight. Each excursion has equipped pupils with many transferable skills and has provided valuable opportunities to teach pupils about the world in which they live.
