The full package....
Boarding at Stover offers the blend of the expected care, support and enrichment, along with the flexibility that one needs from a modern boarding school. This is an exciting time to join a flourishing area of the school. With structure and activities throughout the week and trips and activities on the weekends, the students are kept busy and engaged. We have a strong focus on ensuring that academic rigour is at the heart of the working week, and all students are prepared well for personal study as they move through the school. With the wonderful environment that surrounds Stover, the students quickly realise that they are very privileged to be growing up in such a place.
With a new Director of Boarding joining from Millfield School, Stover Boarding is fast developing in to something that offers a complete package for all.We offer the full options for boarding - flexi, weekly and full boarding. Weekly and Flexi boarders have the opportunity to have access to all of the facilities in the evening, but also have structured prep sessions and academic support. This means that from an intensive week, they can come home to relax at the weekend with family and friends.
An enriching environment....
We are embarking on an enrichment programme throughout the boarding week at Stover, which will incorporate some community service, charity work, life skills lessons, and as the year comes to an end, preparation for University workshops for the 6th form. As of January 2013 we are introducing the Boarding Skills Award, which helps formalise the skills that boarders develop in their time with us, and is a perfect addition to any CV.
Developing the individual....
The grounds and facilities on offer for the boarders are obviously fantastic, however, its the ethos and life skills that are constantly promoted that allow for the development of the individual. With it being a relatively small boarding community, there is excellent pastoral care coupled with the devlopment of independence along with learning to live within an international community. Internationalism is at the heart of what we do here, and all students will benefit learning about other cultures; they will inevitably be sharing university dorms, work places, and travelling when they leave us at Stover, so the days spent with their international boarder friends will be invaluable.
