- Stover School is at present recruiting pupils between twelve and seventeen years old. Students would live in Stover's boarding quarters with some days spent with British families in order to be completely immersed in the English language and culture.

- We aim to help our international students develop their knowledge of English and their ability to use the English language, while simultaneously making a direct contribution to the students' general educational development.

- Learners are taught in small groups and we offer appropriate examinations, all of which are internationally recognised, such as the Preliminary English Test and the First Certificate. Older pupils can take the IELTS test which can qualify them to study at University or to work in an English speaking environment. Opportunities are also offered to visit places of interest which are both enjoyable and fun. All overseas boarders must have a guardian over the age of 25 living in the UK.

- Stover has a happy boarding community in which boarders can enjoy life in a relaxed, shared environment. Boarders live in Mansion House or Park House. Younger pupils live in dormitories where they develop friendships that can last a lifetime. Single or double study bedrooms are available for our Sixth Formers. Each House has a Common Room in which the girls can relax together in comfortable surroundings.

- Senior boarders are given the opportunity to develop their leadership skills by participating in and organising activities for the Junior boarders. They help to supervise ‘prep' and listen to the younger members of the boarding community reading. Boarding prefects represent the boarders at School Council and liaise with the Housemistress to ensure the smooth running of the House.

- In Mansion House, refreshments are available in the Internet Café and there is also a tuck shop for snacks and sundries. In Park House there is a fully equipped kitchen. The homely atmosphere is further enhanced by the aroma of cakes baking in the girls' kitchen.

- When the lighter evenings are with us, pupils can take advantage of the wonderful grounds for sport and recreation. Each boarding house is staffed by a Housemistress, an Assistant and an Assistant Tutor who all contribute towards offering a wide variety of fun activities.

Flexible boarding is available to all our day girls either regularly, for one or two nights per week or as a one off sleep-over, or perhaps more if parents are away.
