From the Housemistress, Mrs Marilyn Banks
Welcome to Stoner, the emerald green House! A delightful House with kindness as its hallmark. Girls only need sign up for the various competitions and they can be assured of being included in sports teams, informal concerts and drama productions, to name just a few activities. The sixth form girls pride theselves on getting to know all members of the House and leading by example. Whether it's playing lacrosse on St Catherine's Day, performing in the House play at Christmas or simply cheering on your friends from the sidelines with our mascot, William, the bear: it all adds up to hours of fun and a sense of belonging to a family.
The four dedicated members of staff oversee the academic progress and pastoral care of members of the House and are as passionate about Stoner as the girls.Years of fun and excitement await you with everyone in the House working together to achieve a great effort and possible silverware!
From the House Captains
In many ways Stoner can be seen as one of the friendlier houses, where everyone knows and supports each other. The attitude Stoner takes towards house events is to allow everyone who wants to participate to do so, although often not to the detriment of the performance of the house. Stoner has won and achieved respectable places in many inter-house sporting events with the help of our many strong athletes, and each year produces stunning performances both from individuals and the house as a whole in the inter house singing and drama competitions. This perfectly demonstrates Stoners attitude towards school, allowing individuals to shine, whilst still greatly appreciating the immense efforts of the rest of the house. Stoner has also consistently won or been placed highly in the termly Merit Cup, showing the great amount of participation and effort that each individual in the house brings to the School. Stoner’s house spirit is one of the most outstanding of all the houses. Whether the house is performing in house gym or answering topical questions in the house quiz, a sea of green will definitely be following and cheering for their fellow Stoner house members.
