Stowe School
Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom · built 1923
Stowe School is a public school (English private boarding school) for pupils aged 13–18 in the countryside of Stowe, Buckinghamshire, England. It was opened on 11 May 1923 at Stowe House, a Grade I Heritage Estate belonging to the British Crown. Formerly the country seat of the Dukes of Buckingham and Chandos, it was first constructed in 1677 and served as a consulate to monarchy and aristocracy throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. J. F. Roxburgh was the school's first headmaster. The school is a member of the 18-member Rugby Group, the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference, and the G30 Schools. Originally for boys only, the school is now coeducational, with 541 boys and 374 girls – 915 students enrolled in the school as of September 2023. Roughly 80% of the school's pupils are in boarding houses, while the other 20% are in day houses. Pupils in the "Day in Boarding" programme are assigned to one of the school's boarding houses and have the option to board there for a maximum of three nights per week. Pupils in one of the school's three Day Houses—Winton, Cheshire, and Croft—are charged a reduced fee per academic year. Students in the Day houses are not given the option to board. The school provides bursaries and other means of financial assistance to admitted students who exhibit outstanding abilities in the Arts, Academics, Sports, and other areas. A typical scholar
