About Us

Bishop's Stortford College was founded in 1868 by a group of prominent Nonconformists (that is those belonging to protestant churches independent of the Church of England) in East Anglia who wanted to establish a public school "in which Evangelical Nonconformists might secure for their boys, an effective and Christian education on terms that should not be beyond the reach of the middle class generally".

Today, Bishop's Stortford College is a vibrant day and boarding school for 4-18 year olds, with boarding starting from the age of 7, for both boys and girls.

The Stortfordian Foundation is a welcoming place for our whole community, be you an Old Stortfordian, former or current parent, former or current member of staff or a friend of the College. Here you will find all the latest Foundation, College and OS news, be able to book events, sign up to become a mentor, network with friends and colleagues or browse the fabuluous merchandise in our shop.
