Dear Parents and Carers,

Attendance 🎉

Thank you for your support with sending your children to school each day and on time.  St Stephen's has been recognised by the Department of Education for significantly improved school attendance, and for performing better than other local schools.  Thank you again, and please keep up the good work.

Parent Cafe ☕

A reminder that Parent Cafe happens each Wednesday morning in the Orchard from 9am.  Mrs Fillan, Miss Scarfe and Mrs O'Brien are there to help with any matters relating to SEND, medical or attendance.

Reception Open Evening 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦

It was wonderful to see so many parents and families who visited our Reception classes this week.  If you were unable to make it and would like to find out more about a Reception place for September 2026, please contact the Willow office.

Parking 🚗

Please can we ask that you park considerately when dropping off and collecting children.  Cars should not be parked on pavements.  The safety of our children is the most important thing and this may mean you need to park slightly further away from school and walk to the building.  Local council wardens are aware of the parking issues and may be in the area soon.

Little Wandle - Letters And Sounds.

The resources on this site will help you support your child with saying their sounds and writing their letters. There are also some useful videos so you can see how they are taught at school and feel confident about supporting their reading at home.
