Welcome to Astley St Stephen's Church of England Primary School.

Ofsted December 2021:

"St. Stephen's C.E. Primary School continues to be a good school. Pupils love coming to school. Staff enable pupils to believe in themselves. Staff ensure that pupils are happy and safe at school by taking good care of them. Pupils, and their parents and carers, spoke highly of teachers and other staff. Pupils said that teachers make learning fun. Leaders and governors have developed an ambitious curriculum that captures the interest of their pupils. "

Siams Inspection November 2024 highlighted the following strengths:

• St Stephen’s Christian vision is highly effective in meeting the needs of the community. The school is a light that shines in the darkness for many. It enables both pupils and adults to shine and thrive
• Relationships across school reflect the vision, where adults and pupils are good role models inspiring each other through a love of learning
• There are well planned, invitational opportunities for the whole school community to come together for celebration, reflection, and prayer. As a result, collective worship contributes significantly to both adults and pupils flourishing spiritually
• Governors demonstrate a clear understanding of the Christian vision. They value and recognise that all decisions are based on and supported by the vision
• A close relationship with the church affirms a keen sense of community. It supports Christianity as a living faith and enhances the work of the school.

We are a small, family primary school who cares about the well being and education of every child.

Our whole team works to provide every child with the opportunity to achieve his or her full potential. We have a number of features which make our school very special:

• A strong Christian ethos which promotes key values throughout school life.
• Positive links with the church and clergy.
• A unique curriculum combining the national objectives with themes which interest and engage our pupils and are based around our local area.
• Specialist music provision at Key Stage 2.
• Four houses which give our children a team identity within school and opportunity for competition and collaboration.
• Access to high quality sporting events within the local area.
• A focus on each child as an individual with provision of intervention and challenge for each pupil in relation to their needs and talents.

Astley St Stephen’s School has a lot to offer our children and we always keep them at the heart of everything we do. Thank you for visiting our website.
