We are proud to be an inclusive Christian school, with strong links to St Stephen’s Church. We are a family of skilled and dedicated teachers and support staff, and place our children at the heart of everything we do. 

Everyone at St Stephen's works hard to ensure that our teaching and learning environment allows us all to flourish and achieve our full potential. Our Christian values of love, kindness, respect, friendship, thankfulness and forgiveness remain central to all we do, and support us in striving to continue, ‘Learning, loving and growing; together as God’s children,’ each and every day.

As a staff, we have a steadfast determination to raise standards and aspirations within our school and local community, aiming to achieve educational excellence and human flourishing for our children. Our school vision is about celebrating the uniqueness of every individual, inspiring a life long love of learning and experiencing life in all its fullness. 

We are deeply committed to working in partnership with our children, their families and the community and value strong links between home and school, based on mutual respect and positive relationships.
