stoke park school
4JW,
Stoke Park School was established in 1919 as a grammar school and although it
has changed considerably in the last 100 years, our high expectations and
academic curriculum remains the same. Through providing a quality education,
alongside a range of exceptional experiences, our central aim is to enable all
of our students to Build Brighter Futures. We recently celebrated our best ever
GCSE and A level results and to this end, we are committed firmly to the pursuit
of academic development at the highest level amongst our students. We
unashamedly celebrate academic accomplishment, and we seek to nurture clear
thinking and scholarly curiosity. We are committed to improving the life chances
of all our students and we want to remove any barriers in order for our students
to flourish academically. That said, we place a high emphasis on getting to know
our students and ensuring they feel happy and well supported throughout their
time with us. We foster a sense of belonging within school and the wider
community. We welcome students into The Bridge, a custom designed area just for
them, with both social and teaching spaces and a specialist team of teachers who
are experts in transition from primary and Year 7 learning and progress. The
Bridge offers very high academic expectations with Latin and Classics being part
of the curriculum. Students have a personalised timetable, and the curriculum is
carefully crafted to ensure breadth and depth. Additional small group lessons
are offered so that every student can make rapid progress. Parents can find out
more about The Bridge here. Our teachers are passionate about their subjects and
have a rigorous in-depth knowledge of the curriculum. They are caring and
driven, and they work incredibly hard to ensure all our students are successful
at each stage of their seven year journey which culminates in Post 16, our
popular sixth form. A bespoke Post-16 block awaits our students and offers a
highly academic and enriching experience with links to the top universities. We
aim to nurture student attributes such as confidence, resilience and
perseverance – qualities that will equip them to thrive at school, at university
and beyond, whatever the storms of life may throw at them. This is achieved
partly through our bespoke tutoring programme and carefully structured pastoral
teams, and partly through our expectation that all students participate fully in
the life of the School. We have an exciting, diverse range of extra-curricular
activities through which every student can pursue their interests and stretch
themselves as they learn new skills and talents. Sport, Music, Drama and other
co-curricular activities all play a major role in our school life and offer
opportunities for everyone. These activities develop excellence, educate pupils
to be open minded, independent and willing to take risks. Stoke Park is a
remarkable school for remarkable students. I look forward to welcoming you.
