"Words cannot completely convey the happy feel of our school." On behalf of the governors, staff and pupils, may I take this opportunity to warmly welcome you to Stone Hill and our Post 16; a school and sixth form for children with special educational needs.
I, as headteacher, am proud to be a part of a hardworking, thoughtful and driven team of people who work hard to ensure that the pupils of Stone Hill always benefit from high expectations and an educational experience that meets the needs of the individuals that attend school.
