Image of Stowe School, London Stowe School:
Stowe School is a co-educational independent boarding school in Buckingham, a one hour drive north of London in the heart of the English countryside. The historic house and magnificent landscaped gardens and park in which it is set provide Stowe with an unique atmosphere. Both boys and girls are able to enter Stowe at either thirteen or sixteen years of age. Stowe is incomparably beautiful.


Location and Facilities:

 

Photo of Independent Day & Boarding School in the London Area, UK The main School building, once the mansion of the Dukes of Buckingham and Chandos, is set in 750 acres of landscape garden and parkland and within one of the finest neo-classical palaces in Europe, Stoics enjoy surroundings of extraordinary historical and architectural significance. Unique to Stowe are the lessons in ‘Visual Education’ given to all boys and girls in the 3rd form – these provide new Stoics with an understanding and appreciation of their environment.

Boarding Facilities:
Home for Stoics is one of the eight boys' or four girls' houses, either in the Mansion House itself or in more recently built buildings adjacent or close by. Each House has around sixty pupils and becomes the Stoic's 'family.' Houses share common values, whilst also reflecting the characters of the Housemasters or Housemistresses.

All main meals are taken together in the Mansion, giving an opportunity for social interaction across all year groups. Kitchens are also provided in Houses, providing another focal point for relaxed interaction, in addition to the central House rooms, and for occasional in-house leisurely breakfasts on a Sunday morning!
