Sport plays an important role in a balanced education. We want all pupils to embrace physical activity and make sure it becomes part of their lifestyle in whatever form. Team skills, individual determination, competitiveness and self-discipline all compliment the wider education here at Prestfelde. 

Prestfelde's MFL department provides motivating and diverse language lessons using as wide a range of methods as possible.
