11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Stover School is an independent, co-educational day and boarding school welcoming pupils aged 3 to 18. It is a registered charity governed by a board of governors, and is organised into four departments: Early Years Foundation Stage, preparatory school, senior school, and sixth form, with boarding accommodation situated within the main school building. The school aims to nurture, celebrate, challenge, and inspire each pupil, combining a research-based curriculum with a moral code rooted in family and Christian values. It seeks to help young people grow into confident, independent individuals who are well prepared for a changing world. Pupils come from a diverse range of working family backgrounds, with most living within a 45-minute drive of the school, though some travel from farther afield. The school is committed to supporting all learners, including those with special educational needs and disabilities, those who speak English as an additional language, and those identified as the most able, ensuring the curriculum is adapted to meet a wide range of needs.
