The Stonehenge School Mission

Our mission at The Stonehenge School is to provide the environment, tools and support to empower pupils to think big, regardless of self-perceptions and remove any barriers to achievement. Pupils are provided with diverse opportunities to achieve a good depth and breadth of knowledge and skills.

• Enable pupils to develop personal character and resilience
• Actively encourage the aspirations of pupils
• Give opportunities to all pupils to thrive and flourish
• Help pupils to develop their character and discover their unique talents
• Provide a positive, enriching and broad experience

We will achieve this by:

• Driving a common vision and strategy that is shared amongst the school community
• Having a clear focus on the acquisition of experience, and encourage resilience and determination.
• Creating culturally rich curriculum along with life experience as effective ways of considering life’s big questions
