I would like to extend a warm welcome as you visit our website today. Bishop
Stopford School is a vibrant, ethical place to learn. As our Outstanding SIAMS
inspection report states, ‘Five deeply embedded, long-established, Christian
values, which are relevant to everyone, create an ethos in which harmonious and
respectful relationships enable everyone to flourish.’ (2018) Our aim therefore
is simple: to provide the highest quality education for every student. We
nurture to flourish and challenge to grow. Individuals are supported to fulfil
their unique potential, enabling them to face the future with confidence. Our
exam results certainly bear testimony to us achieving that aim - in the arts,
sciences, sport, humanities and technology subjects. But a great education is
about so much more than exam performance – and Our Intent details what we
believe is equally important. We develop character, moral strength, emotional
resilience and self-confidence, as well as engendering that sheer love of
learning for its own sake. Our Intent guides teaching and learning, and an
extensive extracurricular programme, where we pay significant attention to
cultivating these vital attributes too. Education is, of course, a partnership.
We understand that effective communication between home and school is essential,
and parents are always welcome to contact us to seek advice or reassurance. I
hope that you enjoy looking at our website, and I would encourage you to visit
us at our ‘Open’ events to discover what makes Bishop Stopford School unique.
