paceWelcome To Stoneygate School
Thank you for visiting the website of Stoneygate School. I hope that the information contained in these pages will show you something of the diverse and interesting life of the school. If you would like to visit us, please telephone to make an appointment.
Stoneygate is one of Leicester’s oldest schools, having been founded in the city in the nineteenth century. Four years ago, the school celebrated its 150th anniversary with a concert at the De Montfort Hall.
In the summer of 2003, the School moved its senior department from the city into purpose-built, modern facilities at Great Glen. Additional land has been acquired for sporting facilities and the entire school now occupies one site. This site was originally the location of Glenn Prep School, and was acquired by Stoneygate School in 1976. You can read more about the links between Stoneygate and Glenn Prep here.
Our primary objective is to provide a warm, happy and inspiring atmosphere, where every child is valued and enjoys coming to School. We aim to realise the full potential of all our pupils by introducing them to a broad range of subjects and experiences at an early age. Children who excel in one area generally gain in self-esteem and become well-rounded, confident individuals. We achieve this with a dedicated staff and small classes.
Academic progress is only part of the picture, however, and children are encouraged to develop their social skills in a caring and friendly environment. Good standards of behaviour are fostered along with a respect and concern for others (the children raise a substantial amount of money each year for charity, for instance). Above all, there is plenty of laughter, enjoyment and happiness in the School.
