SPORT IN NURSERY & RECEPTION As an inclusive school, we aim to provide all children with the opportunity to participate at the appropriate level in both inter and intra-school sport. Enjoyment and inclusion at all levels is central to our ethos, and we are extremely proud of the pathways provided for our children to access sport at Stroud. We offer a range of performance pathways where children can learn, develop and thrive. We foster a ‘One Team, Forever Undaunted’ mind-set in all environments. Children are encouraged to do their best at all levels of competition; celebrating their achievements along the way.
