Here are the people who will be welcoming, supporting and caring for your child throughout their time at St Stephen's.
Around each child is a team of people. Their class teacher and teaching assistant provides their day to day nurture, challenge and support. We also have Phase Leaders who are an additional point of contact for parents, supporting children pastorally as well as keeping the phase running smoothly. As many children can need support with their learning, emotional development, social confidence or behaviour from time to time, we have an Inclusion Leader and a team of excellent 1:1 teaching assistants.
Andy and Louise, as Headteacher and Deputy, maintain close links with the children throughout their journey through the school and look to support our children and families in any way they can.
Together, we hope that this support structure helps every child to find their own place within our school family.
