toke College is the educational antidote to a city hot-house school.

Years 7 to 9 receive a broad curriculum, including two languages, drama, music, design and food technology. Our inspirational setting provides the perfect location for a range of team and individual sports, together with our annual festivals and events celebrating the College campus. Physical education is recognised as a key activity for good physical and mental health. Students take part in PE lessons to enhance their sporting skills and abilities, with games lessons featuring match fixtures in rugby, hockey, netball, football, cricket and more. The curriculum is further enhanced by our unique Diploma programmes: The Stoke College Diploma in Character and Resilience (years 7 to 11) and The Stoke College Diploma in Global Competencies (years 12 and 13). Both diplomas have been professionally devised to develop leadership and teamwork skills, humour and integrity, resilience and perseverance.
