Is Bishop's Stortford College a good school?

Attain asked the school, what makes Bishop's Stortford College different – and why should parents consider it?

As an integrated day and boarding school for pupils aged 4-18, Bishop's Stortford College is large enough to provide an exceptional range of opportunities, whilst each section (Pre-Prep, Prep School and the Senior School), is small enough for pupils to be known, valued and nurtured as individuals.

Every pupil is encouraged, taught and challenged to fulfil his or her true potential, by being immersed in an environment of discovery and wholehearted participation.

Pupils are surrounded by inspiring role models who enable them to develop the same confidence and ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The infectious enthusiasm, imagination and dedication of College staff, in partnership with parents, enables pupils to grow into happy, well-rounded, independently minded, skilful and caring young people, equipped and ready for the adventures and opportunities life has to offer.
