Life as a student at Stanmore College entails much more than lessons, exams and coursework. The college is a place where you can make friends, engage in new hobbies, contribute to the community and enjoy activities and events.

Participating in a wide range of experiences and opportunities will make your time at Stanmore much more enjoyable. You will meet new people, while also enhancing your CV to help you when completing applications for university and/or employment.

Sport and fitness

Sport and fitness activities give students the chance to be active and healthy while at college. The programme runs throughout the week and is supported by an extensive range of sport sessions. Activities in the sports hall include inter-group competitions open to all students, while also participating in individual or team events at local, county and national level.
