Aims
Stoke College, a charitable trust, is an independent non-selective school spanning the ages 3 to 16. We are inclusive and non-denominational but embrace Christian and traditional values such as service and charity as well as the importance of a caring community.
Educationally we aim to help children achieve at the highest level of which they are capable, by tracking attainment and comparing this with measured ability as well as setting from year seven in most subjects.
Stoke College aims to teach a number of values and skills. We aim to produce young people:
- Who are well mannered and respectful of others, tolerant and understanding of differences
- Who have a strong desire to learn and an ability to learn independently
- Who are good communicators with anyone regardless of their background
- Who are ready to accept responsibility
- Who have a positive self-image
- Who have the necessary skills for a fast changing world
We teach these values by modelling them in everything we do and consistently rewarding instances when students display them.
We teach these skills by by being aware of the individual learning needs of each of our students and tailoring our teaching to meet these needs, in the belief that we can raise the ability of any student and through teaching a curriculum which most fully addresses the aims of the school.
