Our boarding provision is a caring, family-orientated community with Boarding Houses in and around the school sites.
Each of our Houses reflects the best values of family life. The boarding experience encourages tolerance, respect for others, kindness, spiritual and moral awareness and self-discipline.
We offer a unique range of Boarding options—full, weekly, flexi, and occasional packages—so there is a solution to fit every family’s needs. We also know how important it is for parents that there is no Saturday school, no extended weekends, and no additional charges for weekend activities. These are all things we offer at Stamford.
We provide a traditional boarding experience for seven days a week during term time. Our Houses are full at the weekends, with students enjoying a social life rich in after-school clubs, sports, fun-packed trips at weekends and activities tailored to their age group. They can make use of our leisure centre and pool, or take advantage of support and advice from tutors and Houseparents during homework time.
Boarding three, four or five nights a week can significantly reduce school commute times and gives you the option to have your child home at weekends when you have free time together.
We offer occasional flexible boarding for day students, which can help with busy evenings, for one or two nights a week, or as your logistics require.
Students can stay on Friday nights before sports fixtures on a Saturday, or they may just want to enjoy the experience of boarding with friends for a change of scene.
Each House comprises a core residential team, supported by additional staff strategically appointed to differentiate and best support the needs of our boarders as they transition through our Houses.
"I love the sense of community here. It definitely feels like a home away from home. The fellow boarders, staff and spirit here is everything you would look for when you think of the perfect boarding house."

Our boarding Houseparent’s canvas the students’ interests when planning weekend activities and our students often enjoy fun outings to nearby adventures such as escape rooms, laser tag, the theatre, or dinner at a local restaurant.
We have great transport links to nearby cities such as Cambridge, Lincoln, and London, which means a day trip further afield can also often be on the agenda. Closer to home, we are very fortunate to have Rutland Water (which has a fantastic Aquapark in the summer!) and Burghley Park on our doorstep, both of which our boarders enjoy in the warmer months.
Stamford is well connected by rail with direct train services to Cambridge, Stansted Airport, Leicester, and Birmingham. The city of Peterborough, (which offers a 45-minute rail service to London Kings Cross) is just 12 minutes away by train or 20 minutes by car.
Stamford’s Boarding teams have a wealth of experience with children from military families. We want all our boarders to relax and enjoy their time at school, keeping the same routine while parents are away. Houseparent’s will co-ordinate visits home or overseas, ensuring students are confident to travel to and from parents and school.
Boarders develop strong friendship groups. Collaborating and sharing experiences often leads to very strong bonds being developed and enables life-long friendships – which, as well as supporting each boarder’s wellbeing and happiness while they are at school, is the foundation for a lifelong network for the future. A busy and active social programme will enable your child to have as full a life as they would if they were at home with you. We encourage them to visit friends, or if they want, to stay overnight with other day students or go out to events outside the school.
Our diverse international community is a cornerstone of the boarding experience, creating a rich blend of cultures and backgrounds. International boarders live and learn alongside UK students, fully integrated into school life. This helps foster an inclusive environment and offers students invaluable opportunities to develop their English language skills and immerse themselves in British culture.
