STOWE SCHOOL

Persto Et Praesto

I stand firm and I stand fast

Stowe is creating a community of Change Makers ready to transform the world. Yes, we teach pupils how to excel in exams, but we also teach them how to collaborate, to solve problems and to think critically. We equip them with the skills, resilience and ideas they need to adapt and thrive, and we empower our staff to support the Stoics on their journey. With empathy, versatility, originality and creativity, Stowe’s inclusive community is transforming how young people are prepared to enter adult life. We are doing this so every Stoic can go out into the world and make positive changes, create new opportunities and build a better future. This is how we make change.

ACADEMIC

Support

We offer a modern, dynamic approach to personalised learning in which we deliver tailored support by subject teachers to our pupils, often while they remain in their classrooms. This is in addition to 1-1 support to stretch those at the top end of academic achievement as well as those requiring support in certain subject areas. The 1-1 teacher-pupil time is provided by Personalised Learning teachers and takes place outside of the pupils’ classes. This means greater flexibility and a tightly tailored learning provision for each pupil. Not only is this an enriching experience for the pupils, it forms the basis for strong public exam results. This is why we achieve such added value for the pupils, enabling them to achieve consistently at least one grade higher in every GCSE subject than would be expected at an average independent school. We also offer expertise in supporting pupils with various learning differences such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia.
