Stonyhurst

Stonyhurst is the UK’s leading co-educational Catholic boarding and day school for 3-18 year olds. With boarding available from the age of seven onwards, pupils at Stonyhurst pursue a life of purpose achieving academic excellence alongside spiritual and emotional growth through its academic provision and unrivalled co-curricular offering and facilities.

Stonyhurst’s exceptional co-curricular programme offers over 50 activities in the Prep School and over 75 activities in the College. Stonyhurst is very much a 7-day-a-week boarding school with a busy weekend activity programme.

With the support of their Assistant Head and Houseparent, boarders are guaranteed to find a caring and supportive environment in which they can thrive and settle very quickly. Founded in 1593, Stonyhurst encourages each individual pupil to thrive by enabling them to find, develop and use their unique talents; creating great leaders and preparing young people to be men and women for others.

The school is located on a beautiful 1,000 acre rural estate in Lancashire and is less than three hours from London, and only one hour from regional international airports.
