Commercial

Welcome to the commercial arm of Stamford School, making full and effective use of our exceptional facilities, venues and resources. We manage all commercial and community activity across the site, from residential courses and holiday programmes to events, hospitality, swim school provision and the School uniform shop.

During school holidays, our campus hosts visiting groups from across the UK and overseas. With three boarding houses, extensive catering capability, modern teaching spaces and outstanding sports facilities, we are well equipped to support large residential courses, training programmes, youth groups and international visitors.

Our venues are distinctive, flexible and professionally managed. We host everything from conferences and corporate training to weddings, celebrations and large-scale activity programmes, offering historic buildings, beautiful grounds and contemporary facilities in one setting.

Exceptional service sits at the heart of what we do. We work closely with every client, providing clear communication, practical support and a smooth, well-run experience from first enquiry to final departure.

As a registered charity, all income generated through Stamford School Enterprises is reinvested into the School, supporting vital capital projects and life-changing bursaries. By choosing Stamford, you are investing not only in a high-quality venue, but in the future of young people and our wider community.
