After Harry Allsopp's death in 1959, his wife Joyce Allsopp ran the college until she retired 1992. Stafford House Tutorial College as it was then known was a founding member of "CIFE – the Council for Independent Education." [3] It was the first school in the UK to offer University Foundation programmes for students wanting to go to university from overseas.
In 2010 it was voted LTM High School of the Year[citation needed].
The Principal Jonathan Ullmer was appointed in 2010. The College became a member of the Independent Schools Association shortly after his arrival. The College was inspected in 2011 with no areas of the college rated below 'Good' by the Independent Schools Inspectorate. Boarding at the College was rated as 'Excellent' and leadership was described as 'Outstanding'.[citation needed]
In 2012 and 2014 the college won an award from the Independent Schools Association[citation needed]. In 2014 it won the Independent Schools Award for Best Boarding Initiative and was shortlisted for Independent School of the Year[citation needed].
In 2014 Jonathan Ullmer was awarded the MBE 'for services to education.'[4]
