School Description

The Stable School provides high-quality education for pupils who have struggled elsewhere. Pupils love their school and attend well. They feel valued and cared for. Leaders put pupils at the heart of all they do. They lead with integrity and respect. In a short amount of time, leaders have established a school with a strong family feel. Parents are glowing about the school. A typical view, that reflects those of many, states, ‘We would be so lost without it (the school).’ The headteacher’s inspirational morning briefing helps pupils to settle quickly. Staff and pupils gather to reflect on their achievements and set goals for the day. Pupils leave with a spring in their step and are ready for the day ahead. Later in the day, pupils and staff eat and play together. Pupils and staff treat each other with respect. Staff want the best for pupils. They adapt what they are teaching to help pupils succeed. Pupils engage in activities with focus and determination. They behave well. Sometimes, when pupils struggle to cope, adults are on hand to offer a helping hand and listening ear.

The Stable School Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK. Contact the school directly or visit their website for more information on Admissions Policy and Procedures.
