We are a large inclusive 4 form entry junior school, near the city centre of Canterbury. Our vision and ethos has developed through the belief that all pupils need to have a sense of belonging so that they are ready to learn. We are totally committed to improving all our pupils’ future opportunities by focusing not only on academic learning but on ensuring they are able to manage their own wellbeing and self-esteem, which makes St Stephen’s a great place to learn and to prepare pupils for secondary school. The atmosphere in our school is positive, vibrant and welcoming – if you come and visit you will be able to see this! Our curriculums are developed to ensure they support all pupils learning and that all pupils are able to thrive here and make good progress in our school. Our focus is on inclusivity and ensuring that all pupils have the provision and experiences within a whole class setting to allow them to grow and develop as individuals within a safe and supportive environment. We have high expectations of what all our pupils can achieve. We are very proud of our school community.
