SCHOOLS & COLLEGES
Stamford Endowed Schools “Steeped in a 488 year history in Stamford...”
Nestled within the heart of Stamford are the Stamford Endowed Schools, day and boarding schools for boys and girls, 2-18. Whilst steeped in history, everything the Schools do is firmly focused on preparing young people to lead happy and fulfilling lives in the 21st century. The Schools operate a ‘diamond’ model – blending single-sex and co-education from ages 2-18. It’s the best of both worlds: co-education in the formative years, 2-11, and at Sixth Form, when sharing ideas is so fruitful; and single-sex learning environments with tailored care and support during the crucial 11-16 stage. The Schools take pride in developing active, engaged, and independent learners. From their first days in the Nursery, children are taught to learn from experience, form 52
good habits of mind and understand how to make informed choices, through independent learning programmes appropriate for their developmental age. Children aren’t pigeon-holed; the Schools channel enthusiasm into an enquiring mind and inspire confidence to follow their interests independently. Pastoral care is given the highest priority; valuing and supporting each student’s individuality, encouraging personal resilience, and equipping children with a toolkit to lead a healthy life. Children leave the Schools a Stamfordian; happy, socially responsible, with potential filled, inner belief, a clear sense of self, skills for life and the right qualifications for their next steps, whatever they may be. n Visit www.stamfordschools.org.uk, or call the Admissions Team on 01780 750311.
