Sport
Our pupils receive a strong grounding across many sporting disciplines through inspirational coaching and a fixtures programme that allows excellence and sport for all.
We have a tradition of sporting excellence, with District, County and Regional representation. Having sport as a core part of the curriculum lays the foundations for all pupils to gain a range of skills whilst learning how to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.
Sport is at the heart of Stonar, with all pupils actively engaging in curricular and co-curricular activities. We also have many elite athletes who are part of our Elite Development Programme.
We promote a positive attitude towards physical activity, educating our pupils to value commitment and to demonstrate integrity, respect and mental resilience in all their sporting endeavours.
