Lancashire
Stonyhurst College, together with its dedicated preparatory school Stonyhurst St
Mary’s Hall, is the UK’s leading independent Catholic boarding and day school
for boys and girls aged 3 – 18 years. Stonyhurst recognises young people for the
unique individuals they are, helping them to develop and share their particular
gifts and talents. Stonyhurst constantly looks to innovate and use our extensive
history and traditions as a lens on the present and the future. At the heart of
everything Stonyhurst does is delivering an exceptional education for our pupils
and ensuring that their formation, both inside and outside of the classroom, is
the best in the world. Stonyhurst empowers them to be the best that they can be,
shaping leaders of the future. As a Jesuit school in the UK, the values upon
which Stonyhurst was founded in 1593 continue to underpin everything that we do
today. The school pupils are encouraged to involve themselves fully in the
opportunities offered to them. Living in a supportive and diverse community,
they are helped to develop those qualities of character that will distinguish
them in later life as men and women for others.
