If you are an aspiring athlete, we also offer performance or podium sports, which focus on high achievement and success in regional and national arenas or at elite level competitions.

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.

Breadth of Offering

We offer over 17 sports; from table tennis to touch rugby, basketball to badminton, fencing to football and much more.

Representing your school is the norm here. Our culture nurtures the drive and spirit to turn up, put on your school colours, and represent in your chosen sport, at whatever level.
