Short description of the school
Stamford Endowed Schools is a diamond, independent boarding and day family of schools in the market town of Stamford, Lincolnshire, in the East Midlands. It accepts boys and girls from the ages of 3 to 18. Boys and girls are taught together until the age of 11, separately from 11-16, before coming back together again in a joint Sixth Form.
The school is actually on several sites within the market town of Stamford - which has been named as one of the safest and best places to live in the UK. The separate schools for boys and girls are close to each other and to the town centre with the Prep school also close by. Sport pitches are located within walking distance of both schools. Stamford Endowed Schools as they are known, thus form an integral part of this famous historic town.
Stamford Endowed Schools history begins in 1532 when the first school from the association, and called Stamford School, was founded. This was for boys only. Then, in 1877, Stamford High School, a girls only school was opened. The last member of the group - Stamford Junior School - was established in 2002, Today, boys and girls aged 2 to 11 attend the Junior School then study separately from 11 to 16 and get back together from 16 to 18.
The Stamford Endowed Schools family thus consists of:
- Stamford Junior School, for boys and girls from 2 to 11 years of age
- Stamford School, for boys 11-18 years old
- Stamford High School, for girls 11-18 years old
Students in the Sixth Form are taught in co-educational classes across both the senior school sites.
In addition to leadership and curriculum, all three schools are united by one goal - to create a happy and friendly environment in which learning comes first and where children are interested in themselves. Pupils are encouraged in every possible way to achieve their goals and overcome life’s obstacles. A love for learning and respect for themselves and for the world around them is instilled into all children.
The school has a large selection of art and music classes - each child learns to play at least one musical instrument. Traditional school sports are also strong with the school rugby team regularly winning national competitions.
There are many famous people of their time among the graduates of the school, from scientists and politicians to outstanding athletes and military personnel.
The school has a broadly Anglican ethos but welcomes pupils of all faiths or none.
