iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to the St Stephen's (Kearsley Moor) CE Primary School website. Welcome to the St Stephen's CE Primary School website. I am incredibly proud to be the Acting Head Teacher of this wonderful school. Our vision is 'Our Faith can move Mountains,' Matthew 17:20 which is underpinned by our four key values of Love, Hope, Faith and Trust.
We aim to give the children at our school the best possible start to their young lives, to be the courageous advocates and respectful citizens of tomorrow. We are committed to developing the whole child and helping them reach their full potential both academically and socially. We pride ourselves on being a loving and caring environment where everyone is made to feel welcome.
