The Stamford Endowed Schools is a group of three independent schools in the heart of England and provides a first-class education to 1,700 day and boarding pupils. Stamford is currently structured in the “diamond” model, in which children are taught in single-sex classes between the ages of 11-16. In May 2022, the Governors announced that the Schools will become fully co-educational from September 2023. Find out more about these plans on our website. The Schools’ academic record is excellent and pupils are taught a wide-ranging curriculum in small class sizes. Careers and higher education guidance is comprehensive. Most importantly, we pride ourselves on being an environment in which learning is cherished and enjoyed, and our students emerge as rounded and grounded young adults. Our highly personalised boarding provision is spread across five houses and received the ‘Outstanding’ rating in the last Ofsted Inspection. This is the highest grade achievable and a strong endorsement of the care given to the children in our charge. Located in the historic, stone-built town of Stamford, the Schools are easily reached by road and rail. London is just one hour away by train and via the A1, and there are four international airports within an hour and a half’s drive.
