Bishop Stopford's School, commonly known as Bishop Stopford's, or (locally) just Bishop's, is a voluntary aided co-educational secondary school specialising in mathematics, computing and engineering, with a sixth form. It is a London Diocesan Church of England school with worship in a relatively High Church Anglo-Catholic tradition. It is in Brick Lane, Enfield, near Enfield Lock, Greater London, England.
Bishop Stopford's has about 920 pupils aged 11 to 19. In 2004 the school received an award for mathematics and computing and in 2008 engineering specialist status.
At Key Stage 3 pupils follow the same subjects for years 7-9. All pupils take French in Year 7, and pupils in Set 2 and 3 continue with German up to year 9.
In Year 9 pupils can choose what subjects they wish to take for their GCSEs. All pupils take maths, science, English language, English literature, religious education, and physical education.
Entry to the Sixth Form is subject to a satisfactory report from the Year 11 Head of House and an interview with the Head of the Sixth Form or other relevant teacher. In the sixth form, pupils again choose what they wish to study. There are two routes which they may take. Pupils may take a 1-year BTEC course in either OCR business studies or BTEC art and design, or AS/A2 levels. The conditions for taking AS/A2 Levels are:
After almost a century of attempts by the Church to found a church secondary school in Enfield, Bishop Stopford's was founded on St. Polycarp's Day 1967 and opened its doors to its first pupils on 7 September 1967. Its founder was the then Bishop of London, the Right Reverend Robert Wright Stopford. The school was founded to provide an Anglican church school for the children of Enfield, who at that time had several Church primary schools but no Church secondary school. The school was established in the buildings of the old Suffolk's Secondary Modern School.
