High praise for Stonyhurst in Tatler schools guide 2023
Stonyhurst College has begun the
new school year with a positive
review from q~íäÉê=pÅÜççäë=dìáÇÉ
OMOP for the third consecutive year,
as it features among the Top Prep
and Public Schools in the UK.
The college is praised in the
review for being an ‘impressive
establishment, steeped in history’,
while the ‘school’s Christian values
and ethos’ is also highlighted, since
it ‘offer(s) a framework for
promoting love and care for others,
as well as kindness and bravery.’
Meanwhile, teaching and learning
is commended, led by the
‘exceptional’ headteacher John
Browne, who is described as ‘an
excellent ambassador for a Jesuit
education in the 21st century.’
Writing of the ‘delightful’ and
‘open’ Stonyhurst students, the
review states: “The lessons learnt
here continue to define them long
after they make their way down the
avenue for the last time.”
