Headteacher’s Welcome
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our website.
As Headteacher, I am immensely honoured to have taken on the leadership of an incredible school. Alleyneโs Academy is a thriving 13-18 high school in the town of Stone. We have a history of academic success, and I am excited about taking the school on the next stage of its journey.
Our work is focused on our school motto – Nisi Dominus Frustra (Effort with guidance). Every day we see this formula resulting in success: academic but also holistic.
We are enormously proud of our Sixth Form, where students can continue to build upon their academic success with the care and guidance of our committed staff. Our students flourish in their studies and we work hard to make sure they successfully transition on to their next stage, with many of our students going on to study at top universities or through apprenticeships.
I feel extremely honoured to lead such a vibrant and friendly school. We are rightly proud of our heritage, having been in existence since 1558. However, we know that as custodians of such a rich history, our job is to help students prepare for the future, to ensure that the whole community of Stone continues to grow and flourish.
At Alleyneโs we are committed to supporting individuals to become the best version of themselves. Our academic curriculum is enriched on a daily basis with extra-curricular opportunities and a wrap-around pastoral curriculum designed to nurture the talents of all students. We have a tradition of caring for our young people and students feel happy, safe and valued.
Our school is open to all, and we are always delighted to welcome visitors into our Academy to see what we are all about. If you wish to come and take a look around during the school day, please do contact us and I will be delighted to show you around.

The Alleyne’s Learner and the Three Rs
Day-to-day life at Alleyne’s is underpinned by our Three Rs philosophy.
- Ready to Learn: Being curious, working hard and remaining motivated to address the challenges ahead
- Resilient: Remaining optimistic and ambitious in the face of challenge. Being happy in the knowledge that setbacks are part of the learning process.
- Respectful: Embodying the characteristics of a team player, being polite in all endeavours and thoughtful in their approach.
Through internalisation of the Three Rs, we aim to develop our students so they achieve their personal best within school, in the community and in their wider lives into adulthood.
