Building each other up in LOVE & LEARNING St. Stephen's Primary School Building Each Other Up in Love and Learning We are very pleased to welcome you to St Stephen's Primary School. We hope that this will be the first step on the road to a long and happy partnership with the school.
At St Stephen's we believe that every child should have the opportunity to reach their full potential within a happy, stimulating and secure environment, where care and respect for each other, their school family and the wider community are paramount.
We believe that every child should be encouraged to achieve the highest standards possible, in an atmosphere where all success, great or small, is properly celebrated.
We believe that every child should be taught to accept and understand people with different beliefs, needs and circumstances to their own; enabled to develop morally and spiritually, gaining a growing knowledge of the Christian faith; given confidence to grow in responsibility and independence, equipping them for the challenges that lie ahead.
