Book for our Discovery Morning

Discovery Mornings are a chance to explore the School on a normal working day.

You and your family will tour the School in the company of one of our pupils and will meet the senior team over tea and coffee.

Junior School (Reception – Year 6):
Wednesday 15 May 8.45am – 10am

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.

Students take part in ESU Festival of Speaking

Students from across the year groups of the Stamford Endowed Schools have been taking part in the virtual ESU Festival of Speaking, helping to develop their speaking skills and become more confident communicators.The festival encourages pupils to film a short video delivering a speech, a poem or monologue of their choice, and to post it to social media using the hashtag #esufestivalofspeaking.Mrs Karen Leetch, Teacher of English and Head of Scholars at Stamford School, has been sharing the student's entries on Twitter, which we have shared below for you to enjoy.
