Stowe's School policies aim to provide staff, pupils, parents and guardians with clear information about the organisation and ethos of Stowe and the standards of behaviour expected by all members of its community. These policies enable us to work together to do the best by those in our care, and they can be viewed below.
When you come to Stowe you are joining a community of 920 pupils. In order for the community to function effectively and happily, certain rules are required. They can be broadly summarised under two headings: respect for others and respect for property.
Anti-social, unpleasant and selfish behaviour are, of course, unacceptable in all societies, as they are at Stowe: those who cannot understand the destructiveness of bullying, stealing, or drug abuse clearly cannot remain here. With other rules Stowe seeks not to ape the standards of society, but rather to set a moral lead, and to respond to the particular requirements that any individual community always has.
In joining the Stowe community acceptance of these standards is assumed, and compliance with them is expected.
Our policies are available on the School's Parent Portal, and we hope that in conjunction with other, more detailed and specific information that will be sent out from time to time, they will provide a useful reference for you whilst your child is in the School.
