About Us

At STAGS, we take immense pride in our diverse, vibrant and thriving school community. Our students consistently achieve excellent public examination results across all levels, but our success goes far beyond academics. We offer a superb extracurricular programme and a wealth of activities designed to engage and inspire all age groups.

A Dynamic and Purposeful Environment

The atmosphere at STAGS is vibrant and purposeful, driven by the ambition and enthusiasm of all students. From academic excellence to the creative arts and sport, STAGS students are constantly exploring their passions. At the heart of our community lies our House system - named after inspiring figures who embody our values - generating camaraderie and a strong sense of belonging.

Cultivating Compassion and Contribution

We encourage all the young people at STAGS to be mindful of the needs of others. Each year, students raise impressive sums for various charities, demonstrating their commitment to making a positive impact. Whether through volunteering, fundraising, or participating in community events, STAGS students embody generosity and compassion. 

STAGS has an excellent sporting record and celebrates creativity through Music, Drama, Dance and the wider Arts, all of which are seamlessly integrated into our rich and diverse academic curriculum and promote the positivity of effective teamwork above all else. We believe in nurturing the whole individual, ensuring every student has the opportunity to excel and shine in their chosen pursuits.

Innovation, Enterprise and Excellence in a Supportive and Inspiring Community

Innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership run through both our core and extended curriculum. By participating in initiatives that build critical thinking and creativity, students are primed for future success. This foundation fuels our exceptional Careers programme, offering strong ties to local and national businesses, apprenticeship routes and tailored guidance for every possible pathway. 

Our talented and dedicated staff are not only knowledgeable and skilled practitioners but also enthusiastic advocates for learning within a supportive and caring environment. They are committed to providing exceptional guidance and encouragement to ensure every student thrives academically, personally and socially.
