Stonar School

Stonar is renowned for its exceptional equestrian provision. The world-class on-site Equestrian Centre accommodates 74 horses and ponies, including over 30 owned by the school, with remaining stables available for pupils to bring their own horses or ponies to school with them. The inclusive programme caters to all levels, from beginners to competitive riders, with lessons, training, competitions, and horse care delivered by expert coaches. Riding is optional, and non-riders remain fully included in school life. The facilities are integrated into the heart of the campus, with an indoor and outdoor arena, cross-country course, and hacking track all on site. The curriculum at Stonar is rich and varied, sparking curiosity and creativity, with 20 GCSE subjects and over 20 A Levels and BTECs to choose from. Pupils explore sport, music, drama, art, languages, and public speaking, alongside leadership, community engagement, and a strong programme of outdoor education. Adventure training is woven throughout the curriculum, including Ten Tors, the Duke of Edinburgh Award, and challenging expeditions that build teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving skills. STEM and Creative Arts are particular strengths, supported by state-of-the-art facilities, while sport is also a key part of school life.
