Community

The privilege of being a Technology College brings extra responsibility for working in the local community. The School has recently taken a number of Technology-based initiatives with several schools in the area. There are also certain ‘Sponsor Governors’ who help to steer the specialist direction of this school.

Working with the community in many ways, students, parents, governors and staff benefit from the wide range of skills and experiences shared. Sports activities, computer classes for the older community members, local business links are just some of the contributions Bishop Stopford makes to the Kettering and surrounding villages.

Building bridges with other agencies in the local community is also important. Innovative work with the local police, work experience and teacher placements in local business, fundraising for local charities and opening the Sports Centre to local people are just a few examples of the way the School currently looks outwards.
