Stoke College
Sudbury, Suffolk, East of England · CO10 8JE
A small independent school of around 104 pupils, Stoke College in Sudbury, Suffolk, offers both day and boarding places across a 4-16 age range. The Independent Schools Inspectorate judged the school good overall in its most recent inspection, and rated pupils' personal development as excellent. Parents should note, however, that the school did not meet ISI compliance standards at that inspection, a point worth raising directly when visiting. With more than a quarter of pupils receiving SEN support, the school clearly works with a broad range of learners.

That said, 92% of grades fell in the 9-7 range, suggesting strong outcomes for some while others may need closer support. Popular GCSE choices span the sciences, languages and creative subjects, with Mathematics, History and Economics favoured at A-level, where 75% of grades reached A*-B. An EPQ is also offered alongside the standard GCSE and A-level routes.
