Stowe offers Full, Weekly (on Open Weekends) and Flexi Boarding, as well as Day places.
The vast majority of pupils at Stowe are Boarders and as Stowe still recruits nationally and 20% of the School reside abroad, this ensures that the School is a busy and vibrant environment at weekends. Pupils have lessons on Saturday morning and there are matches in the afternoon. An appropriate activity programme is in place for Sundays.
On Open Weekends pupils are able to leave after matches and return on Sunday night. There are three to four ‘Closed Weekends’ each term when pupils remain at School. These are generally the opening and closing weekends of the Term and special occasions such as Remembrance Sunday.
There are two types of Day place at Stowe (both charged the Day Fee). Day places are available in one of the three Day Houses - Winton or Croft for boys and Cheshire for girls. There are also a limited number of Flexi Day places in the Boarding Houses for those who want to Flexi Board. They offer more flexibility in terms of drop off and pick up and pupils can take advantage of a supervised second prep. In addition, Flexi Day pupils can stay overnight (up to three nights per week) for an additional charge.
