The Governors of the Stamford Endowed Schools have confirmed that Stamford will become fully co-educational at all stages.

The move to become fully co-educational will take place over two years.

From September 2023, Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 will become co-educational, and will be based on the current Stamford School site. Years 12 and 13 will be based on the current Stamford High School site. Year 11 students, who will be midway through their GCSEs, will remain in single sex classes on their current sites to minimise any disruption in such an important year.

From September 2024, they will be fully co-educational in every year group.

In a statement the school said:

“We want to transform the opportunities and outcomes for our students – but that doesn’t mean changing who we are, our purpose, or what we stand for.”

“We want to keep our name, keep the traditions of our schools, and continue to cherish our history and heritage.

“We are putting a new leadership structure in place. Will Phelan, as Principal, will be supported by Vicky Buckman as Head, who will lead the leadership team for our senior school. Our focus on academic ambition, pastoral excellence, and preparing our students for the future, remains our strategy"
