Giving your child a healthy attitude to
physical activity.

Our sporting ethos is, simply, 'turn up and join in'!

Sport is an integral aspect of life at Stamford. Through sport we aim to give your child a healthy attitude to physical activity throughout his or her school career and, more importantly, for life.

Your child's continued participation in sport will encourage social interaction, routine, discipline and behaviour as well as resilience and competition. 

Have fun, enjoy the moments that individual and group sports provide, learn through play and activity.

Games

Mass Participation Sports in Teams

Games includes our mass participation sports in teams by terms where boys play rugby, hockey and cricket and girls play hockey, netball and cricket. Children will play competitive fixtures from Year 3 against local schools and clubs.
