Information for agents looking to place pupils into a british boarding school

Stover School, set in 64 acres of beautiful parkland in South Devon, offers a welcoming and supportive environment for international pupils seeking an outstanding British education. We work closely with trusted international agents and educational consultants to ensure a smooth admissions process and successful placements. Our inclusive community, excellent academic progression, strong pastoral care, and wide range of co-curricular opportunities make Stover an ideal choice for families overseas who value both academic achievement and personal development.

  • For anyone considering an international boarding school, I would highly recommend Stover Sixth Form and Boarding. The school offers an academically challenging environment, with strong results, alongside a very family-based boarding experience. I’ve loved my time here and have grown both personally and academically thanks to the supportive community and dedicated staff.

  • “I know many parents wish for their child to develop independence during their education. Stover is a very good place for that in the sense that we aren’t spoon-fed skills or knowledge. We are taught to investigate with the help of the teachers and when help is needed the teachers are always there to guide our thinking.”
