Sport is a key part of school life for all students at St Anne’s School. We are dedicated to providing the very best in Physical Education and we recognise that it is an area of physical, mental and social development and we aim to promote good health and fitness in all children. Within curriculum time, the Foundation and Key Stage 1 children are taught introductory activities in areas of gymnastics, athletics and the fundamental skills required in more traditional ‘games’.
The progression of knowledge and skills continues into Key Stage 2 lessons, where pupils develop a greater understanding of performance in sporting activities. To complement and extend the curriculum content, we provide all children with the opportunity to take part in our varied extra-curricular program consisting of individual and team activities. Pupils at St Anne’s Preparatory School are able to compete in a number of sporting fixtures and competitions. We have won many awards and trophies for our sporting accomplishments in a range of sporting events.
We offer a comprehensive range of sports at St Anne’s including Football, Tennis, Netball, Rugby, Cricket and Cricket coaching (from our friends at Essex County Cricket), Hockey, Rounders and much more.
We also offer Swimming tuition.

Year 4 Superstars
St Anne’s took part in the CSSP Moulsham family Superstars competition at Chelmsford Athletic centre. All the children performed in a variety of Athletic events versus: Ford End, Meadgate, Mildmay and Moulsham. Our year 4 children took part in 8 different sporting activities including, running, jumping, throwing. They carried their own score sheet and at the end of the tournament each individuals score is added together and divided between how many children you have that attended to gain your average score. All our children performed really well and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of representing our school. I am delighted to say that St Anne’s School Finished in First Place at their heat and in 6th place overall out of 42 schools, a brilliant effort.
Well done to the whole of year 4!
