Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

• promote the fact that we are an Armed Forces-friendly organisation, to our colleagues; our parents; our pupils, past and present; our suppliers and contractors; and the wider public.
• actively support and promote the School’s Combined Cadet Force, including encouraging membership of the CCF, supporting staff who volunteer as leaders, and providing support to local cadet units.

About us

The Schools are part of the great heritage of Stamford and a symbol of its vibrancy and evolution. The Schools have been established in Stamford since 1532, providing a first class education for children. Today the Schools remain interwoven with Stamford life, to which our students, teachers and parents contribute greatly. At Stamford we have one simple and overriding aim, that is to inspire our students and light fires within them.  

The schools educate 1650 pupils at the co-educational Stamford Junior School for children aged 2-11, Stamford High School for girls aged 11-18, and Stamford School for boys aged 11-18. There is also a sixth form which teaches boys and girls together across the two senior schools. Stamfordians leave here poised for success in the real world - quietly confident, kind, positive, hardworking, unassuming and resilient. We are independent schools nurturing independent minds.
