WELCOME FROM THEHEADTEACHER

WELCOME FROM THEHEAD OF SIXTH

Bishop Stopford School is a vibrant, ethical place to learn and I am proud to lead an amazing staff team and to have such a significant role in the education of each young person entrusted to our care.

Our aim is simple: to provide the highest quality education for every student. We nurture each student so that they flourish and challenge them to grow.

Our students are definitely our best advert! Visitors always comment on their politeness, character and self-confidence. I hope that you enjoy looking at our website which is just one window into our school. I would encourage you to visit us at our ‘Open’ events to discover what makes Bishop Stopford School unique.
