Stamford Sixth Form is more than just an academic institution; it is a community dedicated to nurturing well-rounded individuals ready to make their mark on the world.
We balance strong academic and pastoral support with opportunities for personal development, helping students build essential life skills. Through a wide range of enrichment activities, students develop leadership, resilience, and teamwork.
Our aim is that every student;
This variety means you can choose the subjects you love and that will best equip you with the knowledge and qualifications you need for a happy future. You will have access to a highly professional and supportive careers programme, which will give guidance to match your skills and interests to your options.
You will have the freedom to drive your own learning, to manage your own free time, and to establish your own balance of studies, activities, socialising and relaxing.
Outside lessons, you will have the choice to study in the café culture of Stamford, spending time in our spaces or making the most of the focus and inspiration afforded by our study spaces.
Our teachers understand that you are a young adult, and no longer a child.You will have all the support you need to take your next steps, but you will have the independence to make your own choices.
We respect your views and opinions, and will help you to find the right track as you navigate the challenges that life will throw at you.
Our study mentoring programme offers tailored academic support, helping students reach their full potential.
With individual tutors and flexible study arrangements, students learn to manage their time effectively within the structure of a school environment. This personalised approach ensures each student’s journey is rewarding, empowering, and enjoyable.
Based at St Martin’s, our recently renovated Sixth Form benefits from a contemporary, adult-focused setting.
Facilities include spacious classrooms, breakout areas, a TED-style lecture theatre, common rooms, and a student café. The layout encourages independent and collaborative learning, mirroring university and workplace environments.
The Stamford Futures Programme is an integral part of the Stamford Sixth Form experience, designed to provide comprehensive support and guidance to students as they prepare for their post-secondary education and career paths. The programme offers a range of resources and activities aimed at helping students make informed decisions about their futures.
Our tailored approach at Stamford ensures every student can achieve academic success.Our experienced Learning Development team supports students who may benefit from additional guidance, with or without a formal diagnosis.
Led by our SENCO and Deputy SENCO, the team provides personalised support to build confidence, independence and academic skills.Support may include in-class assistance, small group sessions in literacy, numeracy or study skills, or a bespoke timetable incorporating dedicated Learning Development lessons.
We operate an open-door policy, welcoming any student who wishes to discuss their progress or attainment. Our team works closely with subject teachers and academic departments to identify those who may benefit from additional support, and we encourage parents to contact the SENCO or Deputy SENCO with any concerns.
We believe that resilience is key to academic success. Our approach focuses on building self-esteem alongside academic skills, helping students to recognise that effort and progress are the foundations of achievement.
We believe students learn best when they feel happy and confident.Our strong tutor system and dedicated pastoral care team understand the challenges young people face, offering practical and relevant support whenever it’s needed.
Through daily experiences, students develop life skills, build healthy friendships and relationships, and learn the communication techniques that will support their wellbeing and success throughout life.
