Welcome to Virtual Learning at Stonyhurst College

Welcome to Stonyhurst Anywhere – the online platform that delivers a Stonyhurst Jesuit education wherever you are.

Stonyhurst Anywhere is a bespoke approach to educational experience and Ignatian formation. It aims to replicate, as well as is practically possible, the education and support pupils would receive within our school buildings. It is ambitious and deliverable.

The Jesuits are renowned for being at the cutting edge of education. Stonyhurst has already been working through online and blended learning with fellow Jesuit schools around the globe over the past two years.

Stonyhurst Anywhere contains a blend of live academic lessons, pastoral sessions, tutorials and meetings supported by recorded lessons, talks, resources and tasks. The structure of a timetable is provided for those for whom this is most effective with the flexibility of the recorded material to access and download according to personal learning style and time zone!

The Head of Playroom and personal tutor have a key role in supporting pupils, and indeed parents, as needed and will be monitoring and supporting participation, reviewing work outputs and providing regular feedback.

Whole school assemblies, Playroom meetings, tutorials, PHSE sessions, SEND and EAL lessons all happen as usual. There are drop-in sessions for academic or pastoral support. The Chaplaincy provides a range of spiritual inspirations including prayers, reflections and our daily Examen.

The summer term is usually punctuated with plenty of outdoor activities and sport. Whilst team sports are not possible with our teams so far dispersed, there are opportunities to engage with the Games Department and a programme of skills development and personal fitness.

A range of co-curricular activities is also be available including Line Competitions for a bit of fun!
