We are a values-led school. Our mission is to ensure that every Stanley High School student is given the best opportunity and support to realise their full potential and develop those skills and qualities needed to make good choices and go on to lead happy and successful lives.

We want to nurture in them a lifelong love of learning and an understanding that everyone can fulfil their ambitions regardless of how wide the gap between starting points and desired destinations may seem. We aim to develop well-rounded young people who are fair and compassionate, and who respect the diversity of all in our community so that everyone can enjoy and achieve in equal measure.
