Adeyfield School Competitors

One of the UK's leading independent, co-educational day and boarding schools, Bishop’s Stortford College is a wonderful place of learning in a beautiful setting on the edge of a market town between London and Cambridge. It is a place large enough to provide an exceptional range of opportunities, yet small enough for each child to be known and valued. Our love of life and learning enables pupils to grow into well-rounded, skilful, caring and confident people, equipped and ready for the adventures and opportunities life has to offer.

The Berkhamsted Schools Group is a family of leading independent schools based in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. They include Berkhamsted Pre-Prep, Berkhamsted Prep, Heatherton School, Berkhamsted Girls, Berkhamsted Boys and Berkhamsted Sixth. We offer high quality education and care for boys and girls aged 5 months to 18 years. With a teaching staff of over 250 and a non-teaching staff of more than 300 people, we aim to recruit the highest calibre of staff who are passionate about our school values Aim High with Integrity, Serve Others and Be Adventurous.

In 1896, five Sisters from the Belgian congregation of St Mary of Namur came to Bishop's Stortford and established a school with just 9 students. These pioneering Sisters were the first to provide Catholic education for the district, and the school rapidly became a success. Their legacy is St Mary’s Catholic School, and as we look to the future with high expectations for continued success, their vision continues to inspire us. This is expressed in our aspiration towards academic excellence founded on Gospel values. In practical terms this also means the best possible pastoral care and guidance and the challenge and support of a broad range of spiritual opportunities which permeate through all aspects of school life.
