Bishop's Stortford College is a wonderful place of learning a place large enough to provide an outstanding range of opportunities for developing well-rounded, skilful and happy young people, yet small enough for each individual to be nurtured. Wherever your child has a skill, we have the time, space, and most importantly, the commitment to find it and nurture it. As a day and boarding school for 4-18 year olds , we can cater for boys and girls of different ages within the family and the individual needs of different families. Following substantial investment, we recently opened a new day house and three new boarding and day houses which means we are now able to offer boys and girls, state of the art, en suite boarding accommodation with the very latest in modern facilities. They are a source of great pride for us. But people are what the College is all about. It is the energy and imagination of College staff, and their enthusiasm to go that extra mile, which creates the opportunities, experiences and very special atmosphere that our pupils enjoy and adds immeasurable value to the education we provide. Life is naturally intertwined with a variety of experiences. High academic standards can and are pursued by our students as they excel in a variety of extracurricular activities. Our love of life and learning enables pupils to grow into well-rounded, skilful, caring and confident people, equipped and ready for the adventures and opportunities life has to offer. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to come see us, either at an Open Morning or by scheduling a private visit. Talk to me, talk to staff, talk to pupils we will do all we can to help you get below the surface and discover whether Bishop's Stortford College is the right place for your family.
