Stella Maris School

Stockport, Stockport, North West · SK4 3BR

With just 34 pupils on roll, Stella Maris School in Stockport is amongst the smallest independent schools a family could consider. Its size means a markedly low pupil-to-staff ratio is all but inevitable, and the kind of close, individual attention that larger schools struggle to match. The co-educational, fee-paying setting is led by Mrs Norah Johnson, and the school is inspected by the ISI rather than Ofsted. Families drawn to an intimate, family-style environment over a big institution will find the scale here distinctive.
