Welcome to Banks St Stephen's Church of England Primary School, and thank you for taking the time to visit our website.

My name is Gareth Allen, and I have had the privilege of being Headteacher at Banks St Stephen's since September 2023. I feel incredibly fortunate to lead such a wonderful school, filled with happy, caring children, dedicated staff, supportive families and a community that is proud of its school.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: every child has unique God-given talents waiting to be discovered. Our purpose is to help every child recognise those talents, develop them with confidence and courage, and use them to make a positive difference in their community and beyond. We believe education is about far more than academic success. It is about helping children discover who they are, where they belong and what they are capable of achieving.
