Stamford Endowed Schools, Lincolnshire

In its own words: "Stamford Nursery & Preschool provides a warm, nurturing and inspiring environment for children aged 1 to 4 years . Located within the grounds of Stamford Junior School, our Ofsted-registered Nursery and Preschool offers dedicated spaces for each stage of early childhood, including our new room for children aged 1-2 ."

From the headteacher's welcome: "Stamford is a happy, welcoming and ambitious co-educational school for children aged 2-18, set in the heart of the beautiful Georgian town of Stamford. Since 1532, we have been helping young people to thrive. Today, we combine our rich heritage with a forward-thinking education built around academic ambition, opportunity and exceptional pastoral care."

The Department for Education's GCSE measures do not count IGCSEs, which many independent schools take instead of GCSEs, so the Attainment 8 and English and maths figures it publishes for Stamford Endowed Schools can understate its results. We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.
