The Stoke Park Experience
‘Students are like candles to be lit, not vessels to be filled’
Plutarch, 1st century CE
At Stoke Park School, we believe that true education encompasses not just academic excellence but a holistic approach that extends into every facet of a student's life. Our commitment to providing a comprehensive learning experience is embodied in the triumvirate of our Student Wider Experience programme: Super Curricular, Co-Curricular, and Wider Community Work.
We passionately believe that Stoke Park provides an individualised experience for each child, making them leaders of their own lives and bright futures. This is encapsulated in our school motto: ‘Servire est Regnare - To Serve is to Lead’.
1. Super Curricular Opportunities:
Expanding Horizons Beyond the Curriculum
Stoke Park School is dedicated to nurturing intellectual curiosity through Super Curricular activities.
Our students are encouraged to delve deeper into their subjects of interest, engaging in research, attending lectures, and participating in academic competitions. The Super Curricular component broadens perspectives, fosters critical thinking, and prepares students for the challenges of higher education and beyond in to the world of work.
2. Co-Curricular Engagements:
Holistic Development Beyond the Classroom Walls
The Co-Curricular dimension at Stoke Park School encompasses a vibrant array of clubs, societies, and hands-on experiences. From arts and sports to technology and entrepreneurship, our Co-Curricular activities offer a platform for students to explore diverse interests and develop essential life skills.
Through collaborative projects such as Mandarin Club, sports teams and fixtures, The Duke of Edinburgh Award, The Scholars Programme and Medic Mentor virtual work experiences.
3. Wider Community Work - Leadership through Service:
Making a Positive Impact Beyond Ourselves
Stoke Park School is deeply connected to the community, and our students actively contribute to societal well-being through Wider Community Work. Community service initiatives, outreach programs, and partnerships with local organisations provide students with opportunities to give back. Engaging in Wider Community Work instills a sense of social responsibility, empathy, and a commitment to creating positive change.
Impact on Students:
Depth of Knowledge: Super Curricular activities enhance academic prowess and intellectual depth.
Diverse Skill Set: Co-Curricular engagements foster a broad spectrum of skills, from artistic expression to problem-solving and leadership.
Social Responsibility: Wider Community Work instills a sense of civic duty, empathy, and a commitment to contributing meaningfully to the world.
At Stoke Park School, we embrace the blending of these three pillars, collectively shaping an educational experience that goes beyond textbooks and examinations. Our commitment is to develop not just knowledgeable individuals but well-rounded, socially conscious, and resilient global citizens, equipped to excel in every aspect of their lives.
