Inspiring Futures Education

Bishopstrow College is a member of Inspiring Futures Education (IFE).  IFE’s schools – currently Bishopstrow College and Padworth College – provide a stepping stone for students, helping them to prepare for and progress on to the next stage of their education, whether that be boarding school for students at Bishopstrow or university for students at Padworth.

In most cases, students progress on to British schools and universities, which have a reputation around the world for offering excellence.  It is for this reason that IFE uses the strapline ‘Pathways to Excellence’ and why IFE’s logo, visible on our website, social media and every publication reflects a gateway.  IFE is driven by a strong desire to support its students in preparing for and making a successful transition to their destination school or university, where they can achieve their true potential.
