ISSUE 89 -  18th July 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

As we come to the end of the school year, we would like to thank all our families for their continued support.

 

Leaving staff

We will be saying goodbye to Mr Kerr, Miss Heathcote and Miss Mahmood, who are all leaving us to pursue new opportunities here and abroad.  We wish to say a huge thank you for all they have done at St Stephen's and wish them the very best at their new schools.  They will be missed.

 

Thank you

We would also like to say a huge thank you to Mr Bob Griffiths who is retiring as one of our school governors after over 10 years!  Thank you for your valued support and commitment towards our school Bob, your guidance will be missed.

 

Year 6

We also wish all our year 6 children the very best as they leave us for the final time and we hope they have a fantastic start at their new schools in September.  They have had a lovely week with performances and visits plus a water battle, and many memories shared with the rest of the school.

 

September 2025

Pupil's last day is Tuesday 22d July.  School re-opens to pupils on Tuesday 2nd September, 8:45am.

Please ensure children arrive in full school uniform, clearly labelled.  Trainers must be completely black including the sole.  PE kit must be a white t-shirt and black jogging trousers or shorts.

School water bottles should be used by pupils and new ones can be bought from the Sycamore Office for £2:50.

 

This is the last newsletter of the academic year, and so we would like to wish everyone a happy and restful holiday. 

Best wishes from Miss Loughlin and all the staff and governors at St Stephen's.
