About

iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).

Welcome to St Stephen's Tockholes CE Primary School. We hope that you enjoy browsing our website and gain an insight into the life of St Stephen's Tockholes. We are very proud of our small, rural school; our pupils and their successes. Our website is packed full of useful information and regular updates on what is happening in and around school.

At St Stephen's, we aim to provide a distinctively Christian, caring, stimulating and secure environment in which children are encouraged to strive to do their best in all aspects of their learning and development. We place great emphasis upon the well-being and personal developmental of every child.

As a school, we work hard to create a lively, engaging and purposeful learning environment which is complemented by our amazing rural surroundings. Our vision for the school is: As a small yet unique part of God's Big family, we will inspire and nurture all to become the very best they can be.

Opening up the world, we will celebrate our Father's (God's) wondrous, diverse creation. We will all live, love, laugh and learn in the light of Christ.
