Headmistress’ Welcome

Welcome to Stroud School, the preparatory school for King Edward VI School. At Stroud, we actively incorporate the skills which form our ‘Stroud Spirit’ into teaching and learning. The ‘Stroud Spirit’ curriculum strand encompasses six elements: resilience, curiosity, collaboration, independence, leadership, and communication. We always encourage our students to build and reflect upon those traits. This is why Stroud is truly a preparatory school, because we equip students with the tools for success. Our provision for a personalised education, situated within twenty two acres of rural Hampshire, allows for exploration. We hope that catering to the individual student will inspire, and develop a love of learning. We have created a wide curriculum that carefully balances academic rigour and focus with the sort of opportunities and experiences that remain with our pupils for the rest of their lives.
