iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).We're delighted you're considering Stoke Row Primary School for your child. We're a small, friendly school with a strong focus on a whole child approach to learning, supporting not just academic achievement, but also emotional, social, and physical wellbeing. As a headteacher with several years' experience, I've always believed that happy children learn best.
That's why we work hard to create a safe, nurturing environment where every child feels valued. From this foundation, our experienced and enthusiastic staff help children to aim high and achieve their potential. We're very proud of our vibrant and engaging learning environment where effort is celebrated and children feel confident to try new things.
Our Reception and KS1 pupils enjoy a play-based approach, and across all years we make the most of our beautiful outdoor spaces, including a garden, astro pitch, outdoor classroom, and the nearby recreation ground. There's a strong sense of community at Stoke Row, children of all ages play and support each other, and respectful, caring relationships underpin everything we do.
Pupils know they can speak openly with staff, and our values of kindness, respect, courage, perseverance and excellence are lived every day. We also know how important it is to work closely with parents and carers. By building strong partnerships with families, we can give every child the support they need to thrive. We'd love to show you what makes Stoke Row so special.
