Stover School

Stover School A co-educational independent day school for children aged 3 to 18 years. Be you. Be brilliant. Be Stover!

Stover School is a unique and very special place; a school which delivers cutting edge education while retaining a healthy focus on traditional Christian morals, values and manners. Happy children are at the very centre of our ethos, reflecting our robust system of pastoral care. Children who feel safe, valued, respected and who trust those around them are free to focus on learning to their maximu

m potential. Our stunning rural setting allows children to enjoy being children and is integral to enhancing this ethos. The co-educational, non-selective environment we provide, best models "real life", allowing the pupils to build the inter-personal skills, empathy, independence and fortitude required to be successful in the wider world. In this school, the family atmosphere ensures that every child is known and understood by the staff and their fellow pupils, as an individual who has something to offer the school community and world at large.

There's a particular kind of quiet on the first morning of term, before the gates open and before 64 acres of Devon countryside fills with pupils again. We're off and we're glad to see everyone.

From day one, even the smallest new starters have a team behind them and older pupils looking out for them.

"A place to work hard. Grow in confidence. Shape your future."

That's Stover Sixth Form in a sentence. Small teaching groups, real personal attention, and a curriculum built to open doors - not just tick boxes.

Weighing up Sixth Form options before September? Come and see for yourself, there's still time.

Term starts again in September and our main Open Morning isn't until Saturday 3rd October. If you're weighing up a move for the new school year, that's a long time to wait.

We'd love to arrange a private visit this August - just you, your child, and a proper look around Stover, at whatever time suits you.

Last Thursday marked A Level results day, and we are delighted to share an outstanding set of results from our Sixth Form.

Over 40% of papers achieved A* or A grades, a testament to two years of dedication, both from our pupils and the staff who have supported them throughout.

As they move on to university, apprenticeships, and other pursuits, they carry with them not only these results, but the values that have shaped their time with us.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026

Stover School pupils have done it again!

We are immensely proud of our GCSE pupils’ results, with over half of all papers achieving a grade 6 or above and over 80% of pupils achieving five or more subject passes, including English and Mathematics — well above the national pass rate. 28% of all papers were graded 7-9 and 90% of all papers were graded 4 and above against a national average of 67%. The pass rate for Maths at grade 4 and above was 86% against a national average of 72%. The pass rate for English at grade 5 and above was 86% against a national average of 71%.

As always, it is the individual stories behind the headline figures that are the real successes. As a non-selective school, it is amazing to see so many pupils reaching and exceeding their potential across a broad range of STEM, arts and photography, humanities and language subjects. In fact, as we measure it, the value-added scores are the real stars.

Headmistress Caroline Ward said:
“This year group has thrown itself at everything Stover has to offer, and these results are only part of what they have achieved. What I am most proud of is that no two of them got here the same way; each pupil was taught in the way that suited them best, and every one has gone further than they thought they could. It has been a real pleasure to share their journey so far, and we wish them all the very best for what comes next.”

Huge congratulations to our GCSE Class of 2026: Another set of fantastic results and another group of confident young people ready for what's next.

Well done to all our Year 11 pupils and the staff who backed them every step of the way.

We've secured full planning permission for our new £2.5 million multi-sport facility and this one isn't just for our pupils.

The new building will support tennis, cricket, netball, badminton, basketball and more, alongside a real focus on health, wellbeing and environmental sustainability. It's designed to be shared: a facility for Stover pupils, but also for local clubs, families and groups across the wider community for generations to come.

We're already most of the way there. Stover Governors have committed £1 million from the School's Reserve Fund, matched by a further £1 million loan, meaning £2 million of the £2.5 million is secured. Construction is planned to begin in Autumn 2026, and we're now raising the final £500,000 to get there.

This is a chance for the whole community to be part of something lasting. Every gift counts, whatever the size. You can give as a single donation or spread your support. If you know a local business or organisation that might want to get involved, we'd love an introduction.
