Stonyhurst is privileged to host an on-site museum housing over 100,000 artifacts and historical books. This exceptional resource ignites curiosity and enriches the curriculum with immersive, hands-on learning experiences. Few schools provide pupils with the opportunity to examine items of immense historical significance, such as Shakespeare’s First Folio and Henry VIII's cope, in such detail. Based on a secluded and safe 1,000-acre estate, Stonyhurst overlooks the beautiful Ribble Valley countryside in the centre of the United Kingdom. The school is inhabited by many varieties of wildlife including three resident herons, otters and deer to name just a few. This scenic backdrop is an ideal setting for intellectual exploration and personal reflection. Children joining Stonyhurst will benefit from the well-being, safety and happiness that comes with life in the countryside. At Stonyhurst, pupils can explore over 75 co-curricular activities through the Co-curricular Diploma, from astronomy and fencing to horse riding and swimming. Supported by outstanding facilities, including sports pitches, a swimming pool, gym, theatres, and more, these activities provide a well-rounded education and help pupils thrive.
