Senior School

Creating lifelong learners

Stonyhurst is a springboard to a life of purpose. We empower our students to be the best that they can be, shaping leaders of the future who carry a sense of purpose and a desire to make the world a better place. As we guide every student through their own individual academic, sporting, creative, spiritual and emotional journey, we watch with great pride as our boys and girls grow to be men and women for others.

Key Stage 3

Through a broad curriculum, students are able to practise and refine their collaborative, communicative, creative, reflective, independent, questioning and research skills through an inquiry-based approach to learning.

Underpinning all aspects of the curriculum is our unique individual coaching and mentoring programme. Your child will be allocated a member of staff as a personal coach who will meet with them individually and guide them as they move through Years 7 – 9.

We aim to create young people who are motivated, skilled, confident, and independent learners.

All students must select the two core subjects, at least 1 language and either 3 separate sciences or the Co-ordinated Science course.
