The highlight of the week has to have been the hatching of the chicks! Amidst all the major events of school life the emergence of new-born chicks from their eggs created huge interest and excitement. It was wonderful to see the sheer delight and curiosity of the Prep School children as they raced in each morning to find out what progress there had been overnight.Read More
We celebrated World Book Day on Tuesday 28th February this year, two days early so that all the Years 4, 5 and 6 pupils on the Aylmerton trip didn’t miss out. The book character fancy dress costumes were superb all the way from Year 1 to Year 11 and including many members of staff, too.Read More
It’s just over a week now since the ski trip returned and a number of parents remarked on just how well it went. The accompanying staff did a wonderful job and the pupils were a real credit to the school. Stoke’s unique ethos was very much in evidence. In the words of one parent, “One of the things I love about Stoke is the way pupils of widely varying ages interact so well together. It is something that really marks out Stoke as being different to other schools.”
On Thursday 2nd February, our top young Mathematicians from years 9 and 10 took part in the Intermediate Maths Challenge. They attempted to solve as many puzzles as they could within the hour, which of course is a real challenge! Read More
It’s been a busy time at Stoke College during the Christmas break! The Chemistry Lab has had new flooring fitted as well as ceiling and walls painted, the Biology Lab has had the ceilings refreshed and Physics has also had new carpet and redecorations. None of this would have been possible, in what is a relatively short break without the great dedication of our Maintenance Team and external contractors, big thank you to Blakes Decorators Ltd and Superior Finish for helping us with the facelift!
On Tuesday 13th December, it was our last fixture of the term and the senior girls’ last hockey match ever at Stoke.
