Stonebow Primary School

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!

Good afternoon all, Our first lunchtime chess club got off to a great start.  We have now invited all year groups to join in with a strong new showing of year 2 children! Unfortunately it proved to be a bit too popular as we ran out of boards and chess pieces! So, if you have an old chess set at home gathering dust even if there are pieces missing, they would be greatly welcomed into school and definitely used. Check out the photos from this lunchtime! Thank you for your continued support as always. 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.
