Stamford Junior School is a forward-thinking, bright and vibrant community of learners.
At Stamford Junior School, everything we do is driven by your child’s learning and development.
From your child's first days in the nursery, we take their interests as the starting point. By responding to the tiny details that capture their imagination, and being agile and adaptable in how we build our programme, our staff inspire exceptional engagement with learning.
Our Junior School is every child’s greatest chance to discover as many new things as possible – to try interests and activities on for size, and to spend every day discovering that the world is bigger and more exciting than they imagined. We have a clear purpose in our learning and, although your child should never feel undue pressure, they will learn to understand that excellence is a positive.
We make sure every child understands brilliance as striving to achieve their own personal best: not to measure themselves against the goals or performance of others, but to build on yesterday’s experiences to go even further today.
Above all, we value happiness. Happiness comes from the confidence of being supported, understood and listened to. It comes from taking on and succeeding in new challenges that seemed impossible yesterday. It comes from being valued as an individual. It comes from feeling secure in a community that values kindness, effort and curiosity.
We are that community. We would love to welcome you, and help you discover Stamford Junior School.
There is a private swimming pool, spacious sports hall and two brand-new full-size Astro pitches next to the new Wothorpe Sports Centre, which opened in December 2022. With six netball courts and three large playing fields to explore, every day promises a new adventure.
