At Stepney Primary we aim to be an outstanding, learning-centred school which is always looking forward: breaking down the barriers, widening the horizons!  

Stepney Primary School has approximately 242 pupils, with 40 of this number in the school's nursery. The school itself is based in a grade two listed building, built in 1886 and opened to pupils in May 1887.

It is a community of children and adults in which everyone contributes, everyone enjoys and learns, and where everyone is valued. A small school with great expectations.

At Stepney Primary we strive to be an outstanding, learning-centred school which is forward; breaking down the barriers, widening the horizons! We see ourselves as a community of children and adults in which everyone contributes, everyone enjoys and learns and where everyone is valued. "Growing Healthy Minds and Healthy Bodies"
