Perhaps it is our location, in the foothills of Dartmoor yet in the heart of Devon’s glorious countryside, just a few miles from the sea,
that makes Stover school unique.

We are a close and warm community, all working towards one goal – the education of children, from the early years, right through until they become young adults.

Excellence in teaching and nurturing of pupils lie at the heart of all we do at Stover. These dual objectives drive our decisions and shape our priorities.

“Being part of this school for generations has been an incredible journey. It’s not just a place where children come to learn; it’s a second home, a tight-knit community where everyone feels like family. What sets this school apart is its genuine care for each child’s well-being, not just academically, but emotionally too.
The teachers and staff go above and beyond to ensure that every child feels seen, heard, and supported in their journey. And when it comes to opportunities outside the classroom, the range of extracurricular activities is truly impressive. From sports to arts, there’s something for every interest and talent to flourish. It’s this holistic approach to education that makes this school such a special place, where children not only excel academically but also grow into confident, well-rounded individuals.” Photo Credit Emily Fleur
