To celebrate the end of term, we brought our EAL (English as an Additional Language) students together for a special event. Everyone shared food from their home countries and told us a bit about what they’d brought. It was a brilliant way to learn more about each other’s cultures and enjoy some amazing dishes.
Well done to the students for all their hard work this year and thank you for bringing in the delicious treats!
We were thrilled to welcome Tyrell Cambridge, a former Ken Stimpson student, to our 2024 Careers Fair as both an alumnus and a local business representative! He spoke passionately about his course with BMW and the car he had been entrusted to bring with him from Sycamore BMW, engaging with over 700 students and staff. A real credit to BMW and a fantastic role model.
Preparations are now underway for our 2025 Careers Fair, taking place on Wednesday 19th November!
We are looking for individuals and businesses to support the event and promote their industry to inspire the next generation. This is a great opportunity to make a real impact!
To book your free place or to ask any questions, please contact Rachel Patman from our Careers Team at R.Patman [at] kenstimpson.org.uk.
Please share this information with anyone you think may be interested — let’s make this year even bigger and better!
Today we proudly celebrate the outstanding achievements of our Year 11 students. The back-to-back moments of pride, joy and accomplishment as each envelope was opened was felt by all and the positive atmosphere a joy to experience.
The fantastic results achieved by all our Year 11 students are a true reflection of their hard work and dedication - not only over the course of Year 11 but also over the past five years.
As a school, we are thrilled to announce that this year’s GCSE results reflect another year of substantial improvements across the board in every single progress measure. These results continue to demonstrate the school’s unwavering commitment to academic excellence for all students, regardless of starting point or background. Our students have achieved and made exceptional progress - with a large number attaining the highest grades, and an equally impressive number excelling across all levels.
It is always important to stress that these results are not just numbers, they reflect the dedication of our students, the relentless support of their families, and the exceptional commitment of our staff. Together, we have created an environment where every learner is empowered to succeed.
As we look ahead, we are excited to welcome many of our students back to continue their journey with us in the Sixth Form. For those moving on to new challenges, we send our warmest congratulations and best wishes for the future.
We know many parents and students would like to give their thanks to our staff members. We have created this form if you would like to give a personalised response and we will make sure it is shared with them - https://forms.office.com/e/qpEJ9HWhGZ

See you there!
Ahead of results day this Thursday, we wanted to share this video filled with messages of support and pride from your teachers. We know how hard you have all worked and we are incredibly proud of everything you've achieved during your time with us. Results day can feel like a huge thing but we want you to know that we are with you every step of the way and there will be plenty of staff available to guide and support you.
We’re looking forward to welcoming students this Thursday 21st August, to collect their GCSE and Level 2 Vocational results. The Assembly Hall gates will open at 8:30am, and plenty of staff will be on hand to offer support, guidance, and congratulations!
This summer, we were proud to support the Werrington Parish Church Flower Festival. The very talented members of the Werrington and District Flower Club created an amazing display featuring our artwork and school items, themed around Counting Our Blessings. We extend our sincere thanks to them for all their hard work in creating such a wonderful community event.
We're proud to share the overwhelmingly positive feedback from our latest Parents' Survey!
Join us in September for our school tours and on Wednesday 15th October for our New Intake Evening.
We’d love to invite you to join us for our school tours next term!
These tours are a fantastic opportunity to see our school in action, as Mr Whales guides you around the campus and answers any questions you may have.
Every single one of our Post 16 students has once again done themselves, and the school, proud. You represent a small and intimate year group that has shown resilience, dedication and ambition throughout your time with us. Whilst these results are a series of incredible individual achievements, together they have helped drive standards and achievements forward.
You joined our Sixth Form with a range of different starting points and we celebrate not just the results you have achieved, but the educational journey you have been on. As you look to take your next steps into further education, apprenticeships and employment, we are incredibly excited to see what your futures hold and wish you all the very best of luck.
I would also like to thank everyone who has contributed to this success, and especially acknowledge the staff who have worked tirelessly to guide and support each of you throughout your journey.
