International Students

Stamford welcomes international students from around the world and values the cultural richness and diversity they add to our community

Stamford offers the educational quality of an HMC School in one of the UK’s safest and most historic towns.

Stamford is a very inclusive school, where all students are provided with excellent education and support. We believe in respecting others and celebrating difference – and we do everything we can to help our students find the right path in life.

Boarding Community 

Our Boarding Houses are age-appropriate and single-sex to ensure the need for privacy is respected and the right community atmosphere is created for our pupils.

Our boarding community is small, with six boarding properties, which ensures students and our boarding Houseparents feel part of a close-knit community. Our boarding houses are age-appropriate and single-sex to ensure the need for privacy is respected and the right community atmosphere is created for our students. We offer full, weekly, flexible and occasional boarding, so there is something for everyone, depending on circumstances.

Our Houses are full at the weekends, with students enjoying a social life rich in after-school clubs, sports, fun-packed trips and activities tailored to their age group. Boarders can also make use of our leisure centre and pool, or take advantage of support and advice from tutors and Houseparents during homework time.

Friends

All new boarders are allocated a current boarder to be their ‘buddy’.

This buddy systems helps new boarders during their first few weeks. It enables students to be able to learn and understand exactly what school and boarding life at Stamford entails and is a great way to begin to make friends.

Houseparents

Our Houseparents are there to listen to any concerns, as well as answer questions and truly make students feel as though they are living in a home away from home.

They are therefore well integrated in a traditional British education, whilst mixing with other students from many different countries around the world. 

Settling In

Our international welcome weekend takes place before the academic year starts in September.

This allows new joining students to find their feet, familiarise themselves with the School and town itself, and complete all necessary induction tasks in advance of their first day of school.

Our boarders are surrounded by friendly and helpful boarding, academic and support staff, as well as a strong full UK boarding community.
Weekends

All four of our boarding houses are busy and vibrant and continue to be at weekends.

Our boarding Houseparents 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.

Celebrating diversity

Our boarding community is what it is because of our international students.

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.
