Stamford welcomes international students from around the world and values the cultural richness and diversity they add to our community.
We offer the educational quality of an HMC School in one of the UK’s safest and most historic towns. Stamford is an 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.
Our international students will benefit from an exceptional academic offering synonymous with a British education. Our supportive community fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment where academic excellence, pastoral care, and continuous self-development teach our Stamfordians skills and confidence to face their future as young adults.
Stamford aims to offer an outstanding, contemporary education. Every child at Stamford is encouraged to be an independent thinker and take the lead in their own education. Our students leave us with a flexible, adaptable mindset and an approach to learning that equips them to face the challenges and opportunities of their future.
Our houses are age-appropriate, with children aged 9 to 13 in a co-educational house and students aged 14 and above in single-sex provision to ensure privacy is respected and the right community atmosphere is created for our students.
Each House has 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.

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.
The combination of cultures creates a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere, where students learn not only from their teachers but also from each other. This exchange cultivates a global mindset, preparing students to navigate an increasingly interconnected world and enriching the Stamford community for everyone.
Our international students are 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.
Whether they are aiming for top universities, a fulfilling career, or entrepreneurial success, we provide the foundation for aspirations. The skills they develop, alongside our extensive alumni network, will equip students to excel in a multitude of fields.
UK Universities that proved to be popular over the last 5 years:
Our students often enjoy fun outings to nearby adventures such as escape rooms, laser tag, the theatre, or dinners.
We have great transport links to nearby cities, which means a day trip further afield is 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.
While British classics like roast dinners and fish and chips are staples, the menu regularly features exciting theme nights, introducing students to flavors from across the globe. All produced by Holroyd Howe, the School’s experienced catering partner, ensures high-quality fresh ingredients are used to create nourishing and nutritious dining experience. Shared mealtimes in our dining spaces are a great opportunity for students to seamlessly integrate into the vibrant Stamford community.
