Headteacher's Welcome

 

 

‘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!

This week, some of our Year 6 children have been taking part in Bikeability. They have demonstrated excellent manners, respect and a fantastic attitude towards their learning. The children have shown that they are more than capable of putting their cycling skills and road safety knowledge into practice. Mark and Patch were extremely impressed with the children’s positive attitude, enthusiasm and willingness to learn throughout the sessions. Although their cycling skills were impressive, we’re not sure the same can be said for Mark and Patch’s collection of ‘dad jokes’ – which didn’t always get the laughs they were hoping for! And as for the ‘dad dancing’… well, that was pretty terrible too! However, amongst the questionable moves, there was actually a very helpful tip or two! Well done, Year 6! You should be very proud of yourselves.

🔥Year 2’s Great Fire of London Day!🔥

What an exciting day of history! Our classroom was magically transformed into Thomas Farriner’s bakery on Pudding Lane, where we worked together to make bread before disaster struck! 

We formed our very own fire brigade, passing water along the crowded streets to help save London’s houses, before tackling an obstacle course to rescue our belongings as we escaped towards the River Thames.

We then discovered the story of Samuel Pepys and his buried cheese and wine! Returning to London, we hunted for hidden belongings before enjoying our well-earned cheese and juice while writing diary entries about our adventures.

A fantastic day of history brought to life!🔥🧀🍞

Year 6 also took part in an Active Travel Programme session today. The children explored the different forms of travel they may use as they move into Year 7 and beyond. They were involved in a variety of activities of map reading, reading bus timetables and finding faults on a bike. They were also shown how to fix a puncture. All the children were very engaged!

Dear all, Five lucky brass players from Stonebow together with a number of other local primary schools had an amazing experience on Sunday!  Through our partnership with Charnwood College Music Pathways and the Bardi Symphony Orchestra, they attended a concert of  The Greatest Movie Themes on Sunday 4th October 2026 at 3.00pm.    It was a fantastic afternoon of music, bringing some of the most memorable film scores to life through a live orchestra. Something many of the children had never seen before.  The programme took the audience on a journey through the history of film music, featuring music from films including E.T., Superman, Interstellar, James Bond, Pirates of the Caribbean, How to Train Your Dragon, Out of Africa and Chocolat. The concert was conducted by George Morton, a specialist in film music.   They had a great time. (Me too!) Enjoy a selection of photos and video of the event.   Kind regards   Mr. Lees

Stonebow Powers

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.
