"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."

Stamfordian Life

Children with a sense of belonging and pride develop emotional resilience.

Through unrivalled facilities and excellent teaching and coaching, we offer your child numerous opportunities to compete and participate in an array of activities.

“He was only doing 30 minutes of sport a week at the village school, there's so much more opportunity here for rugby, football, cricket, hockey...that was enticing to us.”

The Burghley Run

Each year, students from Reception class to the Sixth Form take part in the ‘Burghley Run’, a cross country run of varying lengths through the parks of local historical home, Burghley Park.

Whilst it is a test of endurance and determination, it is, more importantly, a celebration of the enjoyment of outdoor movement and running in the stunning surroundings of Stamford.

“The memories created at sporting events like these last a lifetime and we hope our students, from as early as reception, can learn the enjoyment and reward that can be gained from a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle that can be hugely beneficial in later life.’
