Your opportunity to find out more about the Prep School for Stonyhurst College
Stonyhurst is the UK's leading co-educational Catholic boarding and day school for 3 - 18 year olds, with St Mary's Hall Prep School welcoming children aged 3 - 11, with full and weekly boarding options available from Year 3 (age 7). We seek to bring out the best in every child, wherever their talent lies, through individual academic attention, world-class facilities, a strong sense of community and a wide range of co-curricular activities.
What happens during a private visit?
All families start their visit by meeting the Headmaster, Fr Christopher Cann, followed by opportunities to meet other key members of our staff to talk more specifically about areas you are interested in.
