History

Bishop Stopford School was founded in 1965 as a purpose-built Secondary Modern institution, as a replacement for its precursor, a school founded in 1535 by the rector of St Peter and St Paul's Church, Kettering. The former bishop of Peterborough, Robert Stopford, agreed to the new school being named after him. Bishop Stopford School soon introduced a sixth form and admitted its first fully comprehensive intake in 1976.[2]

On 23 May 2012, Bishop Stopford opened an extension to the sixth-form, with a study area, two seminar rooms and an additional classroom.

The number on roll has more than doubled since 1965 to approximately 1450 students, with a sixth form of approximately 400.

The school converted to academy status in August 2011.[3]

Previous headteachers were Pat Partridge until 1974, Trevor Hopkins until 1998,[4] James Colquhoun until 2001, and Margaret Holman from 2001 to 2018.Шаблон:Citation needed
