This page documents former Head Boys and Head Girls of Stowe, since 1923. In the past, a Head Boy was elected each term at Stowe. In subsequent years, a Head Boy was elected annually. Head Girls have been elected annually since 1978, with girls having arrived at Stowe in the Sixth From in 1974. We are in the process of researching the missing names from archives copies of the Blue Book.
