About The Bishop's Stortford High School
The school’s motto: ‘Respice, Aspice, Prospice’ means we must look to the past, the present and the future. We are keen to promote traditional values of courtesy, respect and good discipline, though we also recognise the need to provide all our students with the tools they require to flourish and succeed, both now and in the future, and help them develop the skills and qualities that will ensure they are ready for the challenges that lie ahead.

"Mixed Experience"
While our child is settling in well at the Bishop's Stortford High School, we have had some mixed experiences with the school. The teachers are generally excellent, but there have been some issues with communication and organization. We hope that these issues will be addressed and that our child will continue to thrive at the school.
