‘Stonebow Primary School is a welcoming school with a strong community feel. The school recognises and celebrates its diversity. As a result, pupils are proud of their differences and treat each other with respect and courtesy.’ Ofsted November 2024
I’m proud to be the headteacher of Stonebow Primary School, which has been recognised as a happy one. Our dedicated team work together to ensure that all children achieve their potential through rich, high quality learning experiences, in partnership with parents and the wider community.
We encourage our pupils to use their ‘Stonebow Powers’ of Perseverance, Concentration, Curiosity, Cooperation, Enthusiasm and Respect, to develop a positive growth mindset and become lifelong learners.
Our broad and engaging curriculum, ensures that children receive a well-rounded education; where the attributes and talents of all children are recognised and nurtured, to ensure they experience success and reach their full potential. We aim for our children to leave Stonebow with many happy memories, along with key skills and knowledge – ready for next phase of their education and beyond!
We firmly believe that education is a partnership between home and school. Working together, we are ‘building bridges to a brighter future’.
If you would like to visit our school, please contact the school office to book an appointment. In the meantime, I encourage you to explore our website, to get a flavour of our extensive indoor and outdoor learning environment and how we use this to support our curriculum.
I look forward to meeting you soon!

Dear Parents and Carers,
This year, we are excited to be celebrating British Science Week 2026, and the theme is Curiosity.
We would love to invite parents, carers, or family members who use curiosity in their jobs to come into school and share how curiosity helps them in their work. This could be in any form – whether you are a scientist, engineer, nurse, gardener, chef, builder, IT specialist, designer, or anything else! Curiosity plays a role in so many careers, and we want our children to see how asking questions and exploring ideas can lead to amazing discoveries.
You might:
Give a short talk or story about how curiosity is important in your role
Show some equipment, tools, or photos linked to your job
Set up a small demonstration or activity for children to try
Answer children’s “curious questions” about your work
The aim is to inspire our pupils to see the value of being curious and to imagine the possibilities for their own futures. To see one of our very own Stonebow Powers in action in the big wide world!
If you are interested in taking part, please let me know before the Christmas holiday (19.12.25) and I will get in touch to arrange the details. British Science Week falls in March 2026, and we will likely celebrate it on a Monday.
Thank you for helping Stonebow make British Science Week an exciting and inspiring experience for our wonderful, curious children!
King regards,
Mrs Bailey

Inspired to use their Stonebow Powers, the children across the school entered a competition to design superheroes to represent each of the ‘powers’. Using different elements, from a range of designs, the caped character was born – with each cape illustrating the ‘power’.
After learning about Super Powers we told the children that they all have special learning powers of their own.
