Stoodley Knowle is an independent girls school set in 65 acres of wooded headland, overlooking the sea at Anstey's Cove, Torquay.

The school has extensive facilities with many listed buildings of historic interest, including the 13th century Ilsham Chapel which is mentioned in the Doomsday Book.

We are a Catholic/Christian foundation, a warm and caring community where each individual is considered unique, and equal emphasis is placed on academic performance and personal development.

We welcome girls from all Christian denominations and admission is by interview, report from existing school and entrance assessment.

High calibre dedicated staff, small classes and a broad and balanced curriculum are reflected in Stoodley Knowle's outstanding record of academic achievement, which consistently put us in "top of the league" positions.

Girls at Stoodley discover more in themselves than they ever thought possible. We strive to nurture a happy and confident young person ready to face the challenges of the modern world inspired by Christian ideals.

In a positive and caring environment, we encourage self esteem, high moral standards, respect and care for each other, and a spirit of shared purpose and community service.

Girls participate in a wide range of activities led by committed and enthusiastic staff and their achievements are outstanding.

We place great importance on the liaison between home and school and welcome regular and open contact with parents.
