Stamford School
Encyclopedia
Stamford School is an English independent school
situated in the market town of Stamford
, Lincolnshire
, England. It has been a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference
since 1920.
, William Radcliffe, with the encouragement of Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII
, though there is evidence to suggest that a school existed from the beginning of the fourteenth century. Founded as a chantry
school, it fell foul of the Protestant reformers and was only saved from destruction under the Chantries Act of Edward VI
by the personal intervention of Sir William Cecil
(later Lord Burghley) who worked in the service of Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset
and who secured a specific Act of Parliament
in 1548 ensuring its survival. Apart from the chantries of the University of Oxford
and the University of Cambridge
, only those of Eton College
, Winchester College
, Berkhamsted, St Albans and Stamford schools survived.
Teaching is believed to have begun in the Corpus Christi chapel of Stamford's twelfth century church of St Mary
, but by 1566 was taking place in the remaining portion of the redundant St Paul's Church, originally built no later than 1152. This building continued in use as a school room until the early twentieth century when it was reclaimed and extended and, in 1930, returned to use as a chapel. About thirty years later an interesting nineteenth century Gray and Davison
pipe organ
was installed although this was removed in the 1990s and replaced with an electronic substitute. Over its history the school has built or absorbed seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth century buildings, besides the site of a further demolished medieval church (Holy Trinity/St Stephen's) and remains of the hall of Brasenose College built by the secessionists from the University of Oxford
in the fourteenth century. Brasenose College bought the house in 1890 to recover the original medieval Brazenose Knocker.
The right of appointment of the school's master, a position hotly contested in past centuries on account of the post's disproportionately large salary, was shared between the Mayor of Stamford and the Master of St John's College, Cambridge
. This arrangement continues to be reflected in the fact that both Stamford Town Council and St John's College have nominees on the school's governing body. Stamford School has a sister school, Stamford High School
which was founded in 1877. The funds for the foundation of the High School and the further endowment of the existing boys' school were appropriated from the endowment of Browne's Hospital
by Act of Parliament in 1871. This trust had originally been established for the relief of poverty by William Browne
(died 1489), another wealthy wool merchant and alderman of the town, and his gift is commemorated in the name of a school house.
In recent years, the two schools have been united under the leadership of a single principal as the Stamford Endowed Schools. This organisation now comprises Stamford Junior School, a co-educational establishment for pupils aged between 2 and 11 years, Stamford School for boys aged 11–18, and Stamford High School catering for girls of the same age group. Sixth form teaching is carried out jointly between Stamford School and Stamford High School.
Lincolnshire County Council purchased places at the fee-paying schools from 1975 on the basis that Stamford had no grammar school (unlike the county's other towns). The Conservative-controlled County Council decided to end the scholarship
scheme in 2006 and the 50 annual scholarship places (at the cost of £1.9 million a year) will be gradually reduced to zero by 2012.
Stamford School has four senior (Y10–Y13) houses
. These are called Brazenose (sic), Radcliffe, Ancaster and Exeter, there are also four junior house systems, each the same colour as their senior counterparts and are named St Peter, St Paul, Willoughby and Cecil respectively. There are also two boarding houses called Byard, for boys aged 11 to 14, and Browne, which houses boys aged 14 to 18. The four junior (Y7–Y9) houses
are Cecil (feeder house to Exeter), Willoughby (feeder house to Ancaster), St. Paul’s (feeder house to Radcliffe) and St Peter’s (feeder house to Brazenose). The house names, which date back over half a century, reflect various aspects of the school's history. Brazenose and Radcliffe traditionally housed town boys, while Ancaster and Exeter accommodated boys who lived north and south respectively of the River Welland
.
Additional boarding houses within the Stamford Endowed Schools are St Michael's (boys and girls 8-11), Welland (girls 11-16) and Park (girls 16-18).
on his wife, Margaret's maiden name of Stoke). The current form was designed by Nelson Dawson
. The crest is worn on the breast pocket of the blazer. Until 1960 all boys wore a white crest, nowadays however, the privilege of the white crest is worn by Sixth-Form prefects. Most boys wear a maroon crest. House prefects, in the lower school, wear a maroon crest with a maroon ribbon attached to the top of the pocket. Blue crests are worn by Fifth-Form prefects. Badges, awarded for extensive house activity are worn usually on the left lapel. Boys can be seen wearing an array of different school ties. Every boy receives his tie specific to his house upon joining the school, but may be awarded others as a mark of his achievements through the school. These include house colours, middle school colours, representative colours (known as half school colours), and full school colours. Stamford School Club ties are worn on Saturdays by boys representing the school in the day's fixtures. Lower school house captains are also awarded ties as are boarders from Brown and Byard Houses. All boys wear black or charcoal-grey trousers (shorts in the junior school) and a school blazer, which is navy blue.
Articles are written by staff and pupils and submitted for editing. The Stamfordian Team (a small group of staff and senior pupils) then work mostly after school and at weekends to collate written material and photographs for publication. The magazine is printed to a very high specification and distributed to all pupils. Copies are available from the school office.
s that are, or were, sung in the chapel or at assemblies in the school hall. Besides the perennial favourite Jerusalem
, the more formal songs were the generic Dulce Domum
and the Latin Carmen Stamfordiense, written by one of the school's Victorian headmasters, Dr D.J.J. Barnard. Barnard's 'Carmen' runs:
Musa vocat; quemque talem
Fas audire monitum
Et praebere se vocalem
Nunc si nunquam iterum:
Inter nos qui nunc cantamus
Floreat concordia
Teque semper efferamus
Laudibus, Stamfordia!
Surgat vox totius chori
(Procul hinc silentium)
Nostro bono fundatori
Principi burgensium:
Quater summis hic potitus
Senior honoribus
Scholam nostram, non oblitus,
Dedit junioribus.
Quod est bonum, quod decorum
Nos colamus strenui,
Nec inculti simus morum,
Fortes et ingenui:
Timor Dei, regis honos
Impleant praecordia;
Filios sic alens bonos
Floreat Stamfordia!
In the early years of the twentieth century, however, one of the masters
, A.W.S Cowie, who later served as Second Lieutenant in the Lincolnshire Regiment and was killed at the Battle of the Somme
, composed a more light-hearted song. This piece, sung to the tune of The Vicar of Bray
became increasingly popular and was gradually adopted as, in effect, the school song
. It runs:
In Father Time's remoter days
By strange coincidences,
Noah built the ark, and someone else
Schola Stamfordiensis
And fools be they that do suppose
This is exaggeration,
For nobody our founder knows
Or date of our foundation.
(Chorus)
For we maintain, as age in wine
Improves its excellences
Rare virtue fills in every line
Schola Stamfordiensis.
Yet age has brought us no decay
And though our School's a small one,
We still succeed in learning here
That life and duty's all one.
Some of our sons all men may find
High in the lists of Glory -
Recording Angel, keep, we pray,
Our humbler heroes' story.
(Chorus)
Mens sana we develop here
By things like Greek and Science;
And corpus sanum by our games
Of skill and self-reliance:
Whilst over Brain and Hand alike
Stands Discipline, physician
To purify and train the Heart
In its correct position.
(Chorus)
Then keep it up! While England's schools
Uphold their reputation,
Old England has no cause to fear
A canine destination.
Let shivering rogues lament the times
And future consequences
We shall not fear, Dum Floreat
Schola Stamfordiensis!
And despite both the identity of the founder and date of the foundation being subsequently established beyond any doubt, the song continues to endure.
