This inspection rating relates to a predecessor school. When a school converts to an academy, is taken over or closes and reopens as a new school a formal link is created between the new school and the old school, by the Department for Education. Where the new school has not yet been inspected, we show the inspection history of the predecessor school, as we believe it still has significance.

Information about this school
St Stephens is a smaller-than-average sized primary school where most pupils attend from the local community. The school has an Area Resource Base, which provides for a small number of children with severe learning difficulties.
Almost all pupils are from White British backgrounds. Very few have English as an additional language. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is above average.
The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is well above average. The proportion of pupils who are known to be eligible for the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and for children in the care of the local authority, is above average. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress.
