Each campus offers easy access to some of the unique locations and stories around it, from the unique stories of Saint Patrick to Titanic Belfast and its breath-taking scenery such as the Mountains of Mourne and the Giant’s Causeway.

I would like to extend a warm welcome as you visit our website today. Bishop Stopford School is a vibrant, ethical place to learn. As our Outstanding SIAMS inspection report states, ‘Five deeply embedded, long-established, Christian values, which are relevant to everyone, create an ethos in which harmonious and respectful relationships enable everyone to flourish.’ (2018) Our aim therefore is simple: to provide the highest quality education for every student. We nurture to flourish and challenge to grow. Individuals are supported to fulfil their unique potential, enabling them to face the future with confidence. Our exam results certainly bear testimony to us achieving that aim - in the arts, sciences, sport, humanities and technology subjects. But a great education is about so much more than exam performance – and Our Intent details what we believe is equally important. We develop character, moral strength, emotional resilience and self-confidence, as well as engendering that sheer love of learning for its own sake. Our Intent guides teaching and learning, and an extensive extracurricular programme, where we pay significant attention to cultivating these vital attributes too. Education is, of course, a partnership. We understand that effective communication between home and school is essential, and parents are always welcome to contact us to seek advice or reassurance. I hope that you enjoy looking at our website, and I would encourage you to visit us at our ‘Open’ events to discover what makes Bishop Stopford School unique.

Maggi and Sarah created two projects to engage teenagers during the summer holidays, encouraging creativity and the development of new skills. The pack included a hard-backed sketchbook with a workbook of suggested art based activities, also Derwent Arts kindly donated some drawing equipment. The second project included a fully illustrated instruction booklet, coordinated fabrics, ribbons, needles and threads to create a decorative length of bunting, which could be customised with applique lettering or imagery. The scope of these projects could reach beyond the original pack and the summer holiday period, inspiring children to consider further individual projects. The quality of the pack and its learning materials encourages young people to work independently and the workbooks encouraged recipients to explore their own personal projects. The packs also contain Crafts Council project ideas to inspire children and teenagers, and support material for those who may wish to embark on the Arts Awards scheme. ‘Recreate Make’ intend to develop an Arts Award offering in the near future. With the help of the West Cumbria Learning Centre, Maggi and Sarah were able to distribute projects to 38 young people across West Cumbria who it was felt would find them beneficial. We gave the packs out during the summer holiday of 2021 to help additional homeschooling ideas for the arts. They were given to children from Wigton to Whitehaven, the majority centred around the Workington area.
