Key Stage 2 performance

This applies to every infant school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

98% of the families who made St Stephen's Infant School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. Overall pupil absence was 6.5%. There are about 21.2 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. St Stephen's Infant School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
