Stamford High School斯坦福德女校

About the school
Stamford High School is an independent day and boarding school for pupils aged between 11 and 18 years. It is owned and governed by a charitable trust, Stamford Endowed Schools. The school was founded in 1877 and in 2001 it formed much closer links with Stamford School, and Stamford Junior School. Sixth-form teaching is coeducational, utilising both senior school sites.

The head has been in post for two years, and there has been a restructuring of the senior leadership team since the previous inspection. Boarders are accommodated in four houses, one of which is a
recent addition. All houses are located a short walk from the centre of the school.

What the school seeks to do
The school's aim is to create a happy, exciting and supportive environment in which learming is the priority, and where young people are inspired to achieve their best in all aspects of school life, to
develop their intellectual curiosity, and to have a caring and respectful attitude towards each member of a diverse and welcoming community.

About the pupils
Pupils come from a range of professional, military and farming backgrounds, mostly from white British families living within a 40-mile radius of the school. Many of the boarders come from overseas.
Nationally standardised data provided by the school indicate that the ability of the pupils in the senior school and the sixth form is broadly average. The school has identified 28 pupils as having special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), which include dyslexia and other difficulties, all of whom receive additional specialist help. No pupil in the school has an education, health and care (EHC) plan or a statement of special educational needs. English is an additional language (EAL) for 17 pupils, whose needs are supported by their class room teachers.
