About Stopsley High School
Stopsley High School is part of Middlesex Learning Trust (MLT) – a Multi-Academy Trust consisting of 3 large secondary schools. The key purpose of MLT is to deliver the best possible education for our students, to enable them to maximise their progress, academically, socially and emotionally, ready to take their place in society as positive and successful adults. The Trust and its schools have a long history of maximising the potential of every child. Within the Trust, there is a palpable commitment to fostering high aspirations in all students in order to secure the very best outcomes for them regardless of their background. All schools within the Trust are committed to this moral purpose and are supported to secure the very best educational outcomes. Collaboration lies at the heart of Teaching and Learning within the Trust. There are opportunities for shared professional development, planning, research and moderation which strengthens Teaching and Learning in individual schools. An MLT Teacher magazine is produced 4 times a year which showcases best practice within Trust schools, and an evidence-informed Trust Teaching and Learning Handbook is used across the schools to support excellent and up-to-date classroom practice. A Talent Management Framework is also in place to support staff development which includes residency opportunities within and across Trust schools.

Stopsley High School is a modern, aspirational school that believes in the importance of unlocking each student’s potential. We achieve this by ensuring every student has the opportunity to grow and develop both inside and outside of the classroom.
Through a strong academic curriculum, high quality teaching and our contemporary facilities and resources, students are encouraged to aim high and dream big, developing strong aspirations and a lasting love of learning.
Whilst academia remains at the heart of our student experience, we never underestimate the importance of sports, creative arts and the incredible enrichment these subjects can bring. They allow our students to pursue personal interests as well as help them in developing key life skills needed for the future.
Our enrichment offer includes a wide range of opportunities: from extra-curricular clubs, Duke of Edinburgh, music and cheerleading, debate club, chess club national and international trips to workshops and including collaboration with The Brilliant Club, Eton College and Wadham College. Students also have the chance to shape the decision making of their own school and develop leadership skills through initiatives such as the student voice as well as the plethora of student leadership opportunities offered by all our curriculum areas.
We want our students to leave Stopsley as individuals who are confident, courageous and prepared to make informed decisions about their futures in further education, training and employment. From Year 7 onwards, through our careers programme, students will benefit from access to top universities, external speakers and businesses, taster days, work experience and a wide range of workshops and conferences.
