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!

The children had a fabulous time taking part in the Friends of Stonebow sponsored walk this afternoon! They were enthusiastic. They cooperated and helped each other along. They persevered when legs got a little tired. So many of our Stonebow Learning Powers were shown. Well done everyone!  Also a big thank you to everybody who sponsored the children. We can’t wait to see how much we’ve raised.

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.
