Approach To learning
Our approach to learning is formed around a framework of four guiding principles that include creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and complex problem-solving. Lessons are designed to be engaging, and to challenge and stretch your child. Our ‘ideal classrooms’ provide an innovative environment that promotes collaboration between students, their peers and their teachers.
The School is currently structured in the “diamond” model, in which children are taught in single-sex classes between the ages of 11-16. In May 2022, the Governors announced that the Schools will become fully co-educational from September 2023. You can find out more about our plans here.
Independent Learning
Every child at Stamford is encouraged to be an independent thinker and take the lead in their own education. We introduce this at an early age through programmes such as ILIC and the ‘Year 7/8 Challenge’, that encourage independent learning, social responsibility and good habits of mind.
These initiatives foster a positive outlook on learning, teaching students how to learn from experience, and understand how to make choices and behave intelligently.
Academic Curriculum
Our curriculum incorporates linguistic, mathematical, scientific, technological (including computing), human and social, physical, aesthetic and creative, spiritual, moral, ethical and personal education. Teachers and parents work together, identifying each child’s personal strengths and ensuring they achieve what they are capable of – their progress is proactively tracked through both formal and informal reporting.
