Diversity

Bishop Stopford’s School passionately takes great pride in its richly diverse community. We embrace a multitude of ethnicities, identities, cultures, and religions. Through a calendar of events, a monthly diversity bulletin and our staff and student ambassadors, we wholeheartedly commit to creating an inclusive environment, where discrimination, bullying, harassment, or victimization have no place.

Our aim is to nurture a culture where everyone appreciates uniqueness, feels at ease expressing themselves, and experiences a genuine sense of belonging. We celebrate individuality and diversity while advocating for inclusion and equal opportunities. We understand the significance of embracing a variety of ideas, histories, knowledge, and cultures, recognizing the enhancement they bring to our school.

A Bishop Stopford's  alumni student currently at The University of Cambridge came back with members of the university's African Caribbean Society to encourage more of our students to apply to Cambridge for their degrees.

The ACS members gave an inspirational assembly about belonging and fear - factors that deter some students from minority backgrounds from applying to Russell group universities.

"If  Black students from The University of Cambridge had come to my school when I was younger, I definitely would have applied" said a teaching assistant at Bishop Stopford's who admitted not applying to the prestigious university despite having the grades, because of the common perception of Oxbridge not having a strong ACS. "I didn't think there would be anyone I could mix with".

Student diversity ambassadors from Bishop's had the pleasure of interviewing the ACS members.
