"St Stephen’s School works collaboratively with parents to ensure a high level of education, not only on the academic front, but by providing enriching opportunities for students to enhance their learning and become valued members of society. 

They value the opinion of parents and have an open-door policy, always willing to listen to any concerns.  The pastoral care is excellent and they have high expectations of their students in their interactions with one another. 

My eldest daughter was able to fulfill her career goals with the support of the teachers, whilst my younger daughter continues to flourish and grow under their guidance. 

I would highly recommend St Stephen’s as a place of learning and opportunities for all."
