"The curriculum provided here is broad, balanced and stimulating to enable all of our children to achieve their best."

Deputy Head Academic - Stamford Junior School
Through ILIC at Stamford we aim to foster creativity in your child. At Stamford we follow the National Curriculum but with the addition of a great deal more.
For example, the majority of children will play a musical instrument, they will experience an exciting introduction to Modern Foreign Languages, focusing on Spanish and French, as well as educational visits including residential trips to develop independence staying away from home.
We believe open-ended enquiry enhances your child’s critical thinking.
Lessons are varied in terms of style, content, breadth and use of resources because we believe that, by taking a varied approach to teaching, we will extend every child and help them to achieve their potential.
We are constantly evaluating and evolving our practice to provide the most diverse and inspirational educational opportunities we can.
There needs to be a continual connection between thinking and doing and this develops as children move through the Junior School.
Scientists and Artists are concerned with exploring ‘What is true? Why does it matter?’ and, critically, ‘How can we move forward?’ That is what we at Stamford identify as critical thinking of the future.
"At Stamford Junior School we are committed to providing an environment which encourages all children to maximise their potential."

Through provision for, and inclusion of, more able and talented children we will:
In providing for the needs of learners as individuals we promote an inclusive learning environment. Our small class sizes make learning better for all.
For those children that require more support in the classroom, we offer your child high quality special needs support to meet their needs as an individual.
We have a full time, non-teaching SENCO who can provide dedicated support with all SEN requirements.
