Bishop's Stortford College is a top 20 UK independent co-educational day and boarding school. In their March 2017 Inspection, the College received the ISI headline judgements 'excellent' in all 4 sections.
As three schools in one, the College is large enough to provide an exceptional range of opportunities, whilst small enough for pupils to be known and valued. The infectious enthusiasm, imagination and dedication of College staff enables pupils to grow into happy, well-rounded, skilful and caring young people equipped and ready for life.
Breadth of experience is woven into daily life. Pupils can, and do, pursue high academic standards whilst enjoying and succeeding in many other interests. Every pupil is encouraged, taught and challenged to fulfil his or her true potential. Teachers strive to allow time and space for academic work to be balanced by sport, music, drama, and a diverse choice of other activities. Their tagline is 'We Build Confidence for Life'.
