Visit Us
We understand that choosing the right school for your child can be a daunting process, but we are here to help.
We are thrilled to open our doors to prospective families for on-site visits so that you can get a true impression of life at Stroud School.
Our children are always keen to meet prospective families and chat about their experiences at school; we believe they are our best ambassadors! These tours give families the opportunity to come along and meet with some of our children and staff to find out what they love about being at Stroud.
