From the inspection on 15 November 2022
Pupils feel happy and safe at St Stephen's Primary. They like their teachers and think learning is great. Pupils are polite and friendly and make visitors welcome. Leaders want all their pupils to do well, and they do. Leaders and staff have high expectations, which pupils share. Behaviour in lessons and around school is very good. Pupils want to learn. They listen well in lessons and take part enthusiastically in all learning. Pupils say that bullying or fall-outs sometimes happen. They know the difference. They have secure strategies to deal with any issues. Pupils feel confident to speak to a member of staff if they are worried, knowing that adults will deal with any bullying or friendship issues. Some parents feel leaders do not deal with bullying well. The behaviour and bullying policy is lengthy and is not as helpful to parents as leaders wish. However, leaders take bullying seriously and take appropriate and effective action to deal with it when needed. Leaders work well with the local community. For example, pupils collect food at harvest for local food banks. Pupils enjoy taking part in a range of sporting tournaments.
What the school should improve
- Some parents feel that communication between school and home is not as good as it could be. This means they do not always feel they know enough about how their child is doing or how they can help them. Leaders should review their communication and ensure it meets parents' needs.
