We warmly invite you and your child to attend a private tour with a member of our SLT. Explore our school and experience the everyday running of St Stephen's Infant School. This is a fantastic opportunity for your child to experience primary school, and receive a personalised and intuitive tour by a member of our staff, who will be able to assist you in answering any questions you may have while exploring the things your child loves.

Together We Shine

There are 90 places available for new entrants into the Foundation Stage classes each year.

We have three Foundation Stage classes where the children enjoy learning in an engaging environment, supported by their Teachers, Teaching Assistants and peers.  Class numbers in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 classes are not permitted to exceed 30 children.

 Admissions to the school for children entering the Foundation Stage classes are administered by the Local Authority through the Common Application Form which must be submitted online by parents during the period of November to January. Further information on the arrangements for entry to primary school can be found on
