Welcome to Stoke Mandeville Institute of Sport and Education

Stoke Mandeville Institute of Sport and Education is committed to providing education and training to enable more people to get involved in disability sport, as athletes, coaches and officials.

Stoke Mandeville was the birthplace of disability sport and has become known as the 'home of the Paralympic Games'. As the National Centre for Disability Sport, Stoke Mandeville Stadium in Aylesbury is an inspiring venue which provides a high quality, fully accessible site incorporating numerous sports facilities alongside conferencing, training and accommodation capabilities, and as such is an ideal venue for education and training in disability sport. When we add to this a regular programme of disability sports events that provides role models and the opportunity for much needed hands-on experience, buddying and mentoring to increase confidence and embed skills, it is clear the WheelPower owned Stadium is uniquely placed to lead this work.

By working in partnership the Institute will contribute to a more co-ordinated, effective delivery system for disability sports education and training. The Institute will provide a programme of education and training with a specific focus on disability sport.

Stoke Mandeville Institute of Sport and Education is a partnership between Bucks New University, Bucks & Milton Keynes Sports Partnership, Leisure Connection and WheelPower – British Wheelchair Sport.
