From sporting opportunities such as sailing, rugby or hockey, to the performing arts including musicals, theatre and clubs; there is something for everyone at Stamford. Our broad co-curricular programme offers ideas to encourage and inspire our pupils. If students are interested in politics, they can get involved with our Debating Society, where they can join political debates about current affairs and discuss the hot issues of the day, or simply blog about their interests and viewpoints. Regarded as an essential part of their schooling, our co-curricular activities help students to develop important life skills such as leadership, confidence and teamwork. Educational trips and expeditions are also available to places such as Costa Rica, Russia, Iceland, South Africa, Australia, and India.
Each year group has a range of age-appropriate co-curricular options to choose from. Students are encouraged to get involved, something which is particularly evident in our sporting provision, where at the Junior School, for example, every child from Year 3 and above will represent their school each term. Offering a wide co-curricular programme gives our pupils a better chance of finding activities they love and enables them to develop new skills.
Outdoor Education
Our Bushcraft, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and Combined Cadet Force (CCF) offer students further opportunities to be challenged beyond the classroom, helping them to develop skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, responsibility, perseverance, collaboration and resourcefulness. Our CCF is one of the largest voluntary contingents in the UK. It gives pupils the chance to join the Royal Navy, Army or the Royal Air Force sections.
