I am delighted to welcome you to The Bishop's Stortford High School's web site. It aims to provide an introduction to the school and its community and I hope that by searching through its pages you will be able to access lots of useful information and get a flavour of what we have to offer.
The Bishop's Stortford High School is proud of its ethos and standing within the community. It is a school which continues the pursuit of excellence and combines innovative methods and contemporary educational philosophy with its fine traditions. The school has five forms of entry and admits 155 boys at the age of eleven most of whom continue their education in the Sixth Form where there are some 340 students in total including about 80 young ladies. Most further their studies at University and the school has a tradition of success in applications to Oxford and Cambridge.
The school is fortunate in having an extremely well qualified and dedicated staff whose aim is to equip tomorrow's young people with the education and skills they need. We are renowned for providing a truly all round education and our guiding principles are academic excellence and personal fulfilment within a forward looking and disciplined environment, based on values of mutual respect. We aim to develop a love of learning for its own sake and the potential for good within a Christian ethos. The school offers opportunity for all and its outstanding range of extra-curricular activities complements the work in the classroom to produce well rounded young adults with a sense of pride in the school, themselves and the community.
