Ofsted & SIAMS
Please find above our most recent Ofsted & SIAMS reports.
Data Overview
Please find below performance data for St Stephen's School from the most recent academic year, tracking back to the 2018-19 academic year.
Every year, we have many pupils join us mid-year and those pupils, we class as transient pupils. We analyse our performance data with these pupils firstly included, and then also excluded for comparative purposes.
Please follow the link here to the data held by the DfE on the school's performance. Please note that the KS2 data for 2023 on the DfE tables includes 5 pupils who were new to country and whose data has not yet been removed from the DfE figures.

Covid-19
The Department for Education (DfE) have expressed caution when considering the school data over the period of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the 'uneven impact of the pandemic on 2021/22 school and college performance data'.
Therefore the DfE recommends:
- Not making direct comparisons with data from previous years or between schools or colleges.
- Discussing with the school or college factors that may have influenced these results and consider a range of information when forming a view on how well a school or college is doing, including pupil/student population information
It is not encouraged to make comparisons when reviewing the 2018-19 data and the non-statutory 2021-22 data.
Our Data 2021-22
Although assessment was completed during the 2021-22 academic year, the Government have held off the requirement to publish data, due to the impact of the pandemic on performance, until next academic year (2023-2024). Therefore, there are no official links of tables to demonstrate school performance.
Our data is as follows:
