Stamford International
Stamford welcomes international students and values the cultural diversity they bring to our community. We offer the educational quality of an HMC school in one of the UK’s safest and most historic towns, with excellent teaching and support for all. We believe in respecting others, celebrating difference, and helping each student find the right path in life.

International Registrar
International Admissions Process
Ms Kennedy is your main contact for all international admissions and will support you throughout the process. If your child has additional learning needs, please let her know ahead of your visit so we can arrange a meeting with our SENDCo. Capacity for additional support is limited, but we will offer guidance throughout.
Once you get in touch, we will arrange an introductory Zoom call to discuss your child’s subject interests, requirements, and intended length of stay. To apply, you will need to complete our application form and pay the £150 fee. Ms Kennedy will then guide you through the assessment and interview process.
Learn more about our International Study Centre: Pre A-level Programme
We currently have around 160 boarders, including students from 10 different countries.
We know moving to a new country can be daunting, which is why we run an induction programme and offer ongoing support to help international students settle quickly. Our welcome weekend takes place before term begins, giving students time to get to know the school, the town, and complete key induction tasks.
New boarders are paired with a current student as a ‘buddy’ to help them adjust and start making friends. House Parents offer day-to-day support, answer questions, and create a warm, welcoming home-from-home environment.
Our boarders are supported by friendly and dedicated boarding, academic, and support staff, and are part of a strong UK boarding community.
They benefit from a traditional British education while living and learning alongside students from around the world. All our boarding houses are vibrant and busy throughout the week and at weekends. House Parents plan weekend activities based on student interests, with outings to places like escape rooms, laser tag, the theatre, or local restaurants.
Excellent transport links to cities such as Cambridge, Lincoln, and London also make day trips further afield possible. Closer to home, boarders enjoy the outdoor spaces on our doorstep, including Rutland Water with its summer Aquapark, and the historic Burghley Park.
Our international students are particularly encouraged to share their culture and interests.
Whether that’s with a House Cooking night making dishes from their home country, or by recognising and celebrating cultural events such as Chinese New Year and Armenian Christmas.
Our boarding community is what it is because of our international students. We would love to welcome you and help you to discover Stamford Schools.
