School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You are highly respected by the school community as a dedicated headteacher who is uncompromising in the aim to ensure that pupils achieve the very best possible outcomes. The school has been on quite a journey since the previous inspection. You have overseen a move into a new school and have worked tirelessly to develop the premises and ensure that St Stephens is seen as a school that welcomes pupils with a range of abilities and needs. Staff and governors share your belief that all pupils can succeed and, therefore, support ongoing strategies and endeavours to improve the life chances of pupils in your care. Consequently, boys and girls of all abilities make good progress from their different starting points. You value your staff and are committed to ‘growing everyone in the school’ so that pupils’ wide-ranging needs are met very well. Since the last inspection, governance has improved significantly. Governors are now highly skilled and have sharpened their practice. They do not shy away from posing difficult questions to staff and school leaders to ensure that everyone considers the impact of their work on the pupils who need the most help. As a result, teaching is effective, and the level of care and support is very high.
