Education[]
Stamford High School provides education for students aged 11 (year 7) to 18 (year 13). Sixth form teaching is carried out jointly with Stamford School as of 2000. Currently there are 642 students (588 day, 54 boarding) attending the school. The school belongs to the Stamford Endowed Schools, a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.[1]
History[]
The school was founded in 1877 and stands at its original site on the south side of the River Welland. The partner school, Stamford School was founded in 1532.
The funds for the foundation of the High School and the further endowment of the existing boys' school were appropriated from the endowment of Browne's Hospital by Act of Parliament in 1871.[citation needed] This trust had originally been established for the relief of poverty by William Browne (died 1489), a wealthy wool merchant and alderman of the town.
In recent years, the two schools have been united under the leadership of a single principal as the Stamford Endowed Schools. This organisation now comprises Stamford Junior School, a co-educational establishment for pupils aged between 2 and 11 years and Stamford School and Stamford High School for students aged 11–18. Sixth form teaching is carried out jointly between Stamford School and Stamford High School.
School traditions[]
There is a house system for all students with houses named after famous heroines - Cavell, Beale, Anderson and Eliot.
