Creativity is one of the four fundamental attributes we develop in students at the Stamford Endowed Schools. Studying the arts gives students personal skills from the ability to express themselves and increased confidence, to working under pressure – all skills that will help pupils regardless of their future careers. The arts at Stamford incorporates Art, Performing Arts, Speech and Drama, Music and Dance. Numerous Stamford students choose to study arts subjects at A Level, and some notable alumni have continued on to successful lifelong careers.
Our students are provided with the environment and support needed for their talents to grow. Reflecting our independent minds philosophy, students are encouraged to develop their own individual style and voice as they explore their strengths. The impressive Oswald Elliott Hall, with its theatre style seating, lighting rigs and sound equipment, hosts several flagship theatre and music events each term. Stamford’s ethos of inclusivity and opportunity focuses on enabling students to be involved wherever their interests and talents lie, whether as directors, stage set designers or composers.
