Schools in Stamford
One of England's most complete medieval and Georgian stone towns, Stamford anchors the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire on a crossing of the River Welland, its centre of 17th- and 18th-century limestone terraces and five medieval parish churches regularly pressed into service as film sets for period dramas. Around 21,000 people live in the town. The East Midlands Railway runs east to Peterborough in around fifteen minutes.
Barnack is among the most sought-after villages for primary catchments in the district, and Great Casterton has long been a school-competitive address just north of the town boundary, with St Martin's and Ketton extending the family-favoured arc to the south and west.
