Introduc on from the CEO
Every school regards itself as a learning community, so what is dis nc ve
about our ethos at Stowupland? Quite simply, student achievement and
student well‐being are at the heart of everything we do. Stowupland is an
inclusive community school where all young people can make outstanding
progress. We are focused, determined and unremi ngly posi ve in
pursuing this vision.
We enjoy an unrivalled se ng with modern facili es which are being
constantly updated. Beyond the bricks and mortar though, our innova ve
approach to curriculum design and professional working enables us to
offer diverse and tailored learning for all year groups.
Outside the classroom, the dedica on and commitment of staff supports
an unparalleled range of extra‐curricular ac vi es. Every Wednesday, our
formal metable ends at 2.10pm and this provides a unique opportunity
for many students to broaden their outlook and develop new skills and talents.
In return, we expect the best from all students. Great emphasis is placed on the core values of rights,
responsibili es and respect and we apply these core values to all aspects of school life: from courteous
and respec ul behaviour around the site, to purposeful and responsible a tudes both to study and to
each other. In addi on, students are encouraged to demonstrate a genuine understanding of the
communi es to which they belong: local, na onal and interna onal.
Above all, we want students to embrace the opportuni es available at Stowupland. We want them to
enjoy the challenge of learning and to be excited by the choices that educa onal achievement can bring.
