Introduction

Stonar School provides day and boarding education for girls aged 2-18 and boys aged 2-11. A British school with a global perspective, Stonar develops the talents of every pupil through small class sizes, excellent teaching, high expectations, individual support and an exceptionally wide range of opportunities.  We excel at ‘adding value’ to a child’s education, which means pupils generally score up to one grade higher than predicted at GCSE. This puts Stonar in the top 10% of schools throughout the UK in terms of pupils’ academic progress. Pupils’ achievements shine in many areas – academic, riding and sports, performing and visual arts, community spirit. Our pupils become accomplished in tackling challenges, team working, leadership, building strong relationships and move on to achieve success and fulfilment in a huge range of university courses and careers. As part of NACE Schools, Stonar has international partner schools with whom we collaborate to offer a unique educational experience, including academic projects, exchanges and joint music, drama and sporting festivals.

The UK’s leading equestrian school

Stonar’s renowned Equestrian Centre offers pupils the chance to ride, whatever their level of expertise, and has stabling for up to 70 horses. From the age of 9, keen riders may bring their own horse or loan a school horse.

Boarders live in comfortable, family-style houses, run by a resident houseparent, an assistant and a team of house tutors. Each House has its own distinctive identity but all share a family atmosphere and as part of a diverse community, pupils make friends from all around the world.  An exciting range of socials, trips and weekend activities ensure that existing interests are catered for and everyone is encouraged to try new things.
