Sport
| Sports coaches at The Downs, Malvern College Prep are careful to make every child feel valued when participating, but at the same time are keen to advance those children with more ability to the peak of their potential. |

Games are an important part of life at The Downs and the P.E. curriculum ensures a healthy physical development for each child. |
Participation is at the root of all our sport, so that children enjoy sport and achieve their full potential.
With this in mind, sports coaches are careful to make every child feel valued when participating, but at the same time are keen to advance those children with more ability to the peak of their potential.

Winter sports include Rugby, Hockey, Netball, Football, Cross Country, Gymnastics and Basketball whilst in the summer Cricket, Rounders, Tennis, Swimming and Athletics make up the programme. |
| Extensive games fields, an astro hockey surface, heated outdoor swimming pool, netball and tennis courts all provide the necessary facilities to allow us to compete at a high level with independent schools locally and at county and national levels. |

Children are also encouraged to take part in sporting activities outside the school, and achievements are regularly acknowledged and publicised at school. |
