Spaces at a Discovery Morning are limited so that you can have as much time as you need to see the School at your own pace and discuss your child as an individual.

Written History:The Russian Exchange Trip was initiated in 1995 by Alan Crombie. He joined Stamford School in 1988 to teach Modern Languages. ‘He quickly made his mark in the classroom as a strict disciplinarian and also generated massive enthusiasm for the Russian Language, something which, over the years, was to see interest in this subject blossom’.His enthusiasm for Russian language and culture may have been an underlying motive in the origins of the Exchange Trip to Moscow; it was one of very few in Britain at the time. For most of the students of the 1995 trip, this was their first visit to Russia ‘and we had little idea what to expect’. It was an enjoyable trip; ‘one which we will remember for the rest of our lives’ (Robin Swithinbank). Mr Crombie left the School in 1998.
