Leaping and Diving in 2023
The Stoke PTA launched the new term with a fabulous whole-community event. Fundraising continues and a Stoke icon is brought back to life.
On Friday 27th January, over one hundred members of the Stoke College community, including local residents, gathered in the beautifully decorated Stoke Sports Hall for the first live indoor event in almost three years.

The Stoke Ceilidh celebrated Burns Night with traditional music (provided by The Lairds), dancing and food cooked by our award-winning chefs.
The event was decorated by the Stoke Estates team and the PTA with decorations provided by Hopes Balloons and Miss Coll’s Art Club. The Sports Hall was unrecognisable with Mrs Housden-Knoxx’s professional table plan and the array of tartan attire worn by guests. The prizes for best dressed went to Hector D-S, Verity L, Mr Smith from Saffron Walden and Dr Baxter.
The well-stocked bar was generously provided by the Three Tuns at Great Abington and table service was expertly provided by a team of Year 13 volunteers.
Thank you to everyone and see you next year!
