Stepson is a two-form entry primary school with a distinctive character, which is currently expanding to a three-form entry school. Staff & pupils are ambitious & confident – performance at KS2 shows our pupils outperform their national peers & make more progress too. The school serves & is surrounded by the Burdett Estate, itself refurbished in 2001 and our premises have recently been refurbished and extended too. It’s this position at the heart of our community that gives Stebon School the platform to succeed. Following recent refurbishments, our premises provide bright, spacious & comfortable learning spaces that our pupils love. Our pupils are at the heart of everything we do. They are happy, friendly & well-behaved & they love learning. They achieve results in all subjects that meet or exceed the national average & do it all with a smile on their face. Unsurprisingly, their attendance is excellent. Our vision is expressed as a set of six promises which we make to every Stebon child. To all the pupils at Stebon Primary School, The staff and governors at Stebon promise you that by the time you leave us: You will have had fun, discovered your talents & celebrated many successes along the way. You will love learning, believe it can take you anywhere, and want to keep on learning more. You will know that life is a fantastic adventure, have dreams for your future, and the confidence to take on the challenges that await you. You will have grown healthy and strong and understand how to look after your body and mind. You will have friends and will have learned to treat other people with fairness, compassion, and respect. You will understand that the world is a wondrous place and be inspired to make a difference. At Stepson we believe that every child has the right to the very best education that we can offer. We are all learners and together, we can achieve great things. We have a whole school responsibility to ensure that teachers provide quality first teaching for all the children in the class, including those with special educational needs. Though there may be times when children are withdrawn from specific programs which support their learning, wherever possible they should be included within the classroom and lessons should be differentiated to enable all students to take part. Diversity and differences are celebrated at Stebon and seen as an opportunity for learning not a barrier to learning. At Stepson we have a family-centered culture. Children with special educational needs and their families have a unique knowledge of their own needs and circumstances. They have views about what they find difficult and what sort of help they would like to make the most of their time at school. Children are encouraged to participate in all the decision-making processes including the setting of learning targets. They contribute fully to the Annual Review meeting and are involved in discussions about transitions and secondary school choices. Children with special educational needs are represented on our school council and are members of our Playground Buddy team. At Stepson most learning takes place in cross-curricular lessons based on a theme. Each term every class studies a different theme, some are science-based, some are historical and others have a geographical bias. Throughout a year pupils will experience one of each. The themes are exciting and pupils have the opportunity to help to plan them. In addition to the class themes, the Stebon curriculum includes themed weeks and days which are a focus for the whole school. These special themes reflect the context of the school and our local community and include Eid, Black History Week, Friendship Week, Comic Relief Week, and Be Healthy Week. It is a curriculum that has been designed & shaped over many years to be as exciting as it is relevant & to fulfill our school vision of preparing our pupils for life as global citizens in modern Britain.

Stanville Primary School was founded in 1937 and consists of a spacious single-story building with seven classes and a Nursery. Here at Stanville Primary School, we are a friendly welcoming school, with an enthusiastic and committed staff. Staff work in partnership with parents, governors, and the community to provide a well-planned and challenging education of a high standard within a caring environment. We pride ourselves on knowing our children well and providing them with an attractive and stimulating environment in which they feel happy and secure. In addition, we aim to know our parents and families equally well and offer a range of support and training opportunities for adults. The school has an open-door policy for parents. Telephone calls and visits are always warmly received and help us to get to know one another better. We also have a fully equipped Mini-Gym, ICT suite, and a Library as well as rooms for Music, Numeracy, Special Needs, and Resources. In addition, we have a Family/Community Room for assisting with Family Support and Adult Learning and a Nurture Room for delivering an enhanced curriculum and Out of School Club. The annex houses the pre-school, Little Busy Bodies, which also provides wrap-around service with the nursery. The annex is also used for community activities in the evening. Under the terms of the Education Reform Act, there is a statutory procedure to deal with complaints by parents who feel that, about the school’s curriculum, the Local Authority or Governing Body is failing to discharge its duties. The arrangements are not intended to deal with complaints about the action of Heads or individual teachers, but specifically the curriculum, including Religious Education and Worship, exemptions from the National Curriculum, and the provision of information and charging policies. Stanville School recognizes that children have a variety of needs that may be of an academic, emotional, social or physical nature and recognizes its responsibility to endeavor to meet such needs. We are a school that is fully committed to inclusive practice and make reasonable adjustments for individuals where necessary. View full school

Stanley Primary School, formed in September 2010 from Stanley Infant and Nursery School and Stanley Junior School, sits at the heart of the local community and serves a mixed ethnic and social area. We enjoy a very high level of commitment and enthusiasm from all our staff, pupils, parents, and governors that creates a tangibly happy and purposeful atmosphere. The school is founded on the excellent academic, creative, and sporting strengths of both its predecessors and offers a wide range of activities, both within the curriculum and out of school hours, which develop the children’s interests and their self-confidence and celebrates their achievements. We have now completed our expansion to four forms of entry from Reception to Year 6. As part of this, we are very pleased to have benefited from a major rebuilding and refurbishment program which has provided us with the best possible facilities to meet the demands of education in the 21st century. The governing body members are appointed for a term of 4 years. The full governing body meets every term and observers are welcome to attend meetings (by arrangement with the Chair of Governors) but may be asked to leave if confidential matters are being discussed. Governors work in partnership with the Headteacher and the senior leadership of the school, acting as ‘critical friends’ who both support and challenge. Governors do not get involved in the day-to-day operations of the school, although there are some statutory responsibilities set out in The School Governance Regulations 2013 and The Governance Handbook for academies, multi-academy trusts, and maintained schools. Much of governors’ work is done through sub-committees, to whom responsibilities are delegated to ensure the work the school does will deliver the strategic objectives set, and to benchmark the school’s performance against external comparators. Stanley Primary is a mainstream primary school for children aged 3 – 11 years. We are proud of our reputation of being an inclusive and supportive school and work hard to meet the needs of all children in our role. We have a specialist provision on-site, The Peartree Centre, for children (of primary school age) with a statement or EHC Plan for Autism or Social/Communication difficulties. Places to this provision are entirely allocated by the Local Authority. Children who are on roll at Stanley Primary School do not have automatic access to The Peartree Centre. Children who are on roll at The Peartree Centre benefit from integration into the mainstream as appropriate, for example, certain lessons or lunchtimes. For further information about how Stanley Primary and The Peartree Centre work together, please call our office number and ask to speak to The SENDCO and/or the Head of Peartree. All Richmond-maintained schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and disabilities and are supported by the Local Authority to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school. All schools in the area are supported to be as inclusive as possible, with the needs of pupils with Special Educational Need/s and/or Disability being met in a mainstream setting wherever possible, where families want this to happen. Our Living Classroom is a beautifully crafted wildlife garden that has been created with funds raised by FOSP. The garden includes a lovely pond with accessible pathways, and plans include an orchard. Councillor Jane Boulton, Mayor of Richmond Borough, officially opened the Living Classroom at Stanley's annual May Fair on Sunday 17 May 2015. We were delighted to win a Silver Gilt award at the Richmond Borough in Bloom awards on Thursday 9 July 2015. Many congratulations to Naomi Johns, Molly Gartland, and the FOSP team of volunteers- a fantastic achievement for the Living Classroom’s first year. Our values education project involves teaching the children 8 values throughout the year and having a rewards system to praise those children who adhere to these values. The values are Aspiration, Cooperation, Courage, Gentleness, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, and Tolerance. Each week we are giving special certificates to those children who demonstrate good values, and these will be displayed in the office reception area. Through the teaching of Stanley Values, we reflect the multi-ethnic and inclusive nature of the school community and also promote British Values to prepare children for life in modern Britain. Examples of this include teaching about democracy through the School Council teaching about British history through the observance of a minute’s silence on Remembrance Day teaching about a range of comparative religions and marking a range of festivals in assemblies. CEOP is the National Crime Agency’s ‘Child Exploitation and Online Protection’ service. CEOP works with child protection partners across the UK and overseas to identify the main threats to children and coordinates activity against these threats to bring offenders to account. CEOP protects children from harm online and offline, directly through National Crime Agency-led operations and in partnership with local and international agencies. View full school

We are a three-form entry junior school with Gold Artsmark status, which nurtures caring, confident and successful children with a "Sense of Pride" in all they do. Visitors comment on our school as having a very good learning environment with a family feel about it. At Stanley Park Junior School we value all aspects of learning across a wide curriculum, with our aim to nurture the knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm that lead towards life-long learning and prepare everyone for a successful role in life. Ofsted (2014) commented, “The rich and varied curriculum promotes learning well. It enables pupils to apply skills they have already learned in different subjects. Pupils are inspired by the themed days, which provide memorable learning opportunities.” You’ll find our classrooms to be hives of activity, creativity, and learning - making Stanley Park a special place for children. We value the ideas and support from parents through regular surveys, coffee mornings, workshops, family evenings, and social events organized by a very successful Parent Teacher Association. We have an “open door” policy that welcomes pop-in meetings, appointments, and e-mails for any communication. We keep parents informed through regular newsletters, texts, and e-mails. Most of all, we aim to make every child feel valued, listened to, and successful. Children are always expected to put in as much effort as they can, and are rewarded for this. We provide many opportunities for our pupils to take on additional responsibilities. They can become class monitors, elected eco and school council representatives, sports leaders, or mini-mentors. They raise funds to build their budget so that they can choose charities and resources for the school. We believe that every child and adult matters. At Stanley Park Junior School, we work together as staff, parents, carers and governors, in a fun, safe, and inclusive environment. We strive to create a rich, varied and challenging curriculum that provides inspirational learning opportunities for all children as they aspire to become successful learners, confident individuals, and responsible citizens with a sense of pride in themselves and their school. To support the development of successful learners, confident individuals, and responsible citizens we: Nurture emotional well-being and provide experiences that support children towards making choices that lead towards a healthy and active lifestyle. Develop children’s understanding of safe and secure environments, managing risks, and equipping them with strategies to build positive relationships and to cope with peer pressure, including safe and responsible use of the internet. Instill positive attitudes towards learning, through a stimulating and challenging curriculum, that motivates children through enjoyable learning experiences that promote high achievement for all. Encourage children’s commitment toward making a positive contribution towards other people and the world in which they live. Inspire confident and resilient children who have developed knowledge and skills that create enthusiasm for life and learning in the 21st Century. Reflect on our approach to all aspects of school life, striving to find the best way forward to benefit the school and our community, treating everyone with fairness and respect. Promote the fundamental British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. Embrace our "Sense of Pride". We all want the best for the children at Stanley Park Junior School – this is set out above in our Vision and Values. We recognize that this can best be achieved when the home and school work in partnership - sharing the responsibilities and pleasures of preparing young people for the future. At Stanley Park Junior School we are committed to providing an inclusive education, where there is equality of opportunity and where all children can achieve their potential, including those identified as having a Special Educational Need and/or Disability. As a school, we pride ourselves on our commitment to provide an all-around education that supports pupils’ academic and personal development. View full school

We are a friendly school with a well-deserved reputation for excellence in learning. Our committed and talented staff provide a challenging curriculum and have high expectations for the success of all children. Lessons, after-school activities, and visits provide a wide range of exciting learning opportunities. Stanley Park Infants’ School has many strengths and we provide a caring and supportive environment for children to learn. Our Parent Teacher Friends Association plays an important role in our school community. As well as fund-raising, the PTFA arranges social events for children, parents, and staff. Governors also play an active role in the life of the school. These strengths result in an ethos that values individuals and makes Stanley Park Infants’ a very special place to work, play and learn. Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning and provide an environment that prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens. At Stanley Park Infants we are all working together to become super learners. This means that we are learning about the qualities that make someone a super learner, and we are working to become better learners by stretching our learning muscles. For example, to be like 'The Questioner', we are stretching our questioning learning muscles by asking questions to further our learning. This is based on research and theory, which has been adapted to suit our school. The super learner qualities are displayed in the 'Stanley Park Learning Mind', and each one has a super learner character. The success of the approach is that schools take a whole-school approach to the teaching of thinking. This means that thinking becomes central and explicit and all teachers and students develop a common thinking language and toolbox. As students move from lesson to lesson and teacher to the teacher they will be using the same tools and strategies as part of a coherent and well-planned approach. This applies to both primary and secondary schools. Each school will identify and select specific thinking tools which can be used across the curriculum. These tools will develop specific types of thinking and thinking processes. The students will develop an understanding of how they think and be able to articulate how they think. Teachers will talk about thinking with their students. View full school

Stanley Park High is a very successful mixed community school for students of all abilities between the ages of 11 and 19 years. Although we have a long history of schooling in the local area, in 2006 we were designated a ‘One School Pathfinder’ by the London Borough of Sutton. This designation required us to design a new school that not only responded to the outcomes in our vision statement but also had to be innovative and forward-thinking to prepare our students for life in the 21st Century. In addition, it had to be an inspiration to other schools. We feel that we have got this right and our new state-of-the-art school opened in January 2012. Human Beings are a social species. Learning is a social activity. We understand that life in the 21st Century will be strongly dependent on social interaction. Consequently, we believe that the ability to form excellent relationships will be critical to our student's learning and success in the future. Consequently, everything we do is designed to maximize the chances of such relationships. Our ‘Four Schools within One’ concept is central to this. We are highly ambitious for the future success of the school, as we are for each student that is entrusted into our care. We believe that our nationally recognized curriculum structure and innovative approaches to learning and teaching, when coupled with our extremely high expectations, will provide the perfect platform for achievement and success. Our Vision Statement is based on the fact that for children and adults to be inspired to learn it is our fundamental belief that our school provides: A curriculum that responds to the needs of every individual irrespective of their age and aptitude. Learning experiences that are diverse, flexible, rich, experiential, and active. Positive, effective relationships within a collaborative and sustainable community. Academic, social, and emotional intelligence. A number of our students and staff are involved in action research practices to improve learning and inquiry at SPH. These range from EPQ study and guided mentoring for our sixth form students MA study through our partnership with St. Mary’s University, to classroom investigations led by students. We offer internship opportunities for Post-16 students (including a thriving partnership with students from High Tech High) a research base for external MA and Ph.D. students (this year we have Ph.D. colleagues researching our unique practices in one of our autism bases) and the opportunity to link-in with our MA programs run by St. Mary’s (School Leadership and Pedagogy) held on-site here at SPH. We believe that a gulf has opened up between what schools provide and what our children and young people need. We will ensure that our students are literate, numerate, and gain academic qualifications. However, our emphasis is not solely on testing and passing exams at the expense of other skills and qualities that we believe are just as vital in today’s and tomorrow’s world. We offer engaging, collaborative, and interactive learning processes that provide an ideal mix of theoretical and practical learning. As a result of this, our curriculum is recognized, both locally and nationally, as transforming the learning experience of all our students. Students study in a variety of contexts, which cater to all abilities, from the point of entry into school. This ensures the effective learning of all students. We are charged with preparing our students for a future that nobody can predict, but will inevitably involve considerable and fast-paced changes. Key amongst these changes will be globalization and business innovation, with a move to an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world where all human lives will be intertwined, regardless of where they live on the planet. Much of this globalization and business innovation will be the result of developments in the multi-media world. Given this future, we are delighted to be an exciting, forward-thinking, and innovative school. Housed in a ‘state of the art’ building with facilities and equipment that fully meet the demands of learning, our vision statement is ‘Igniting a Passion for Learning. This shows a strong commitment to our view that education should be exciting and challenging so that it instills a love of learning. Consequently, whilst we fully support the need for our students to have the necessary knowledge and understanding to pass examinations, we strongly believe that the ability for any individual to succeed and be happy in the future will be strongly dependent on them acquiring a wider range of skills and attributes.

We have a rich curriculum offer that explores both the knowledge and skills necessary to become successful and well-rounded individuals who can find their way through the world and positively contribute to society. We actively promote and nurture the curiosity and questioning nature of pupils using Philosophy for Children as a way of exploring the curriculum. We develop the professional awareness and curiosity of our teachers through our unique approach to teaching and learning development known as ‘Reflective Inquiry’ as well as exploring a wide range of current educational research. This is just a simple way of understanding what connects our schools and provides a meaningful foundation for authentic collaborative partnerships, working together on the same underlying principles. We understand that by having common bonds and through developing meaningful relationships which we can continually grow, develop and improve together. We place a great deal of emphasis on developing our children as Independent, Collaborative, Inquisitive, Reflective, Creative, Resilient, Happy, Curious, Confident, Risk-takers.

We have strong links with Manchester University and other Educational institutes and we work closely with the Manchester Museum and Whitworth Gallery as well as many other partners. We are very proud of our school, our learners, and the vibrant community we serve. At Stanley Grove, we believe in developing skills that will enable our pupils to be happy, independent, and confident. Our curriculum gives collaborative learning opportunities as well as enrichment opportunities that widen children’s horizons and raise aspirations. Lessons are planned to give children the chance to be curious, reflective, and take risks. This allows them to develop resilience.

Wellbeing for both our pupils and staff is at the heart of our curriculum Mindfulness and Thrive Time are just two of how we support children to have good mental health. The wide variety of creative projects that we run in partnership with our local businesses and the University of Manchester, provide our community with free family fun throughout the year. Our recent building project was completed this year and we are now welcoming visitors through our new entrance on Parry Rd. Pupils across the school are enjoying their fantastic classrooms in our new extension, and refurbishment of our existing building. We also have access to our new Learning Research Centre, studio, dining hall, shared learning spaces, and 3G sports pitch. Over Summer 2017 the final external works were completed, and we now have fully landscaped school grounds boasting lots of new play and sports equipment for the children to enjoy. Stanley Grove Primary Academy is an inclusive school where all pupils are encouraged to do their best and to prepare themselves for successful lives. All the opportunities provided to children at Stanley Grove are designed to help them grow into confident and happy life-long learners. Our pupils follow the Stanley Code. We expect everyone in our school community to know, remember and understand the school code. It is expected that they will be regularly referred to in an age-appropriate way. As a Rights Respecting School, we use the articles to link our positive messages regarding the behavior we would like to see the children display. At the beginning of each academic year, as part of the SEAL ‘New Beginnings’ unit, the class teacher will consult with their class to revisit the school code. The code will be displayed in the classroom in a form that is accessible to the children. Class teachers use the PBIS (Positive behavior intervention and support) strategies to promote good behavior in class. These focus on the use of affirmative language and the use of praise. Stanley Grove Primary Academy is passionate about changing behavior and not simply controlling it using punitive measures. Our school has a joint Governing Body with Rushbrook Primary Academy. It exists to support and challenge the staff at the school and to ensure that our children get an outstanding education that they deserve. It is made up of parents, staff, members of the community, and other co-opted Governors with expertise and experience in education or related fields. We meet termly as a Full Governing Body and several sub-committees meet between those times. There will be chances to meet us at various events throughout the year. Educational Visits and learning outside the classroom are an integral part of life at Stanley Grove Primary Academy, furthering the education of the pupils, we consider it vital that we maintain a broad and balanced curriculum. This includes ensuring that pupils have first-hand experiences and have a chance to see and take part in activities outside the classroom. We are part of a vibrant and lively community and we encourage all classes to take part in that community as well as inviting them into our school. Our school grounds provide rich opportunities that can engage all pupils effectively in understanding sustainability and the environment. Visits outside of school, including residential opportunities, are built into our curriculum and enhance children’s learning. View full school

We pride ourselves on helping children to have a smooth transition to Stanford by working closely with parents and carers. Early education provides an opportunity for your child to learn and play with other children in a safe and structured environment, helping to give them a head start when they begin school. Nursery children have a staggered intake to ensure children settle quickly and have a stress-free start to their Early Years education. Having a place in the Nursery does not guarantee a place in the Reception. Children are eligible to start in Reception in the September of the school year in which they turn five years old (the school year runs from 1 September to 31 August). At Stanford, we offer our children a creative and thematic primary curriculum that has been personalized and adapted from the Cornerstones curriculum to meet our school and children’s needs. This curriculum is based on the outcomes for all subjects within the National Curriculum. The curriculum follows four phases: Engage, Develop, Innovate, and Express. At each stage of their learning, children are challenged to develop new knowledge and skills across the curriculum and demonstrate this using a variety of mediums. Our mission is to teach a vibrant and creative curriculum that puts children at its heart, excites their imaginations, inspires them to learn, extends their horizons, deepens their understanding, and meets their intellectual and personal needs. Stanford Primary School is a co-educational community school for children aged between three and eleven years (Nursery to Year 6). It is situated in a residential area in Norbury not far from Mitcham Common. The school was opened in 1973 and was originally a middle school before becoming a Primary School. Stanford has well-resourced primary classrooms, a newly refurbished library, a dedicated computer suite, and a purpose-built gym for sporting activities. There are spacious and purpose-built Nursery and Reception classrooms with their designated play area. The school also has a large playing field and a woodland area with a pond which is home to a variety of wildlife and minibeasts, and trees that have been planted by the children and wider community over the years. The pupil premium grant is provided to schools based on the number of children who are eligible for free school meals or who have been eligible in the past 6 years. The grant is given by the DfE and enables schools to provide additional opportunities to support children's learning and enrichment opportunities. At Stanford Primary School we aim to produce healthy, enthusiastic children, who are willing to try new sports and initiatives to compete and enjoy sports at any level. To achieve this, we offer coaches at break times to encourage pupils to participate in a fun and competitive manner, within a safe, friendly environment. There is also a range of physical after-school clubs available, such as multi-sports, football, and tennis. Great opportunities to develop team skills and positive mental attitudes towards sport. In addition to this provision, we also hold the Silver Award for sport, from our work with the Merton Schools Partnership. This allows us to enter interschool competitions and develop our staff training when necessary. At Stanford Primary we adhere to both local and national policies and guidelines to safeguard children and young people. All schools in Merton are supported with their duty to safeguarding pupils by a linked Social Worker from Merton's Vulnerable Children's Team (VCT). Our linked Social Worker is Kay Dove. Together the school can discuss and offer appropriate early help to children and their families. Being a parent is an amazing job however it can also be tough at times. At Stanford, we are proud to have several staff with a wide range of skills and experience who can offer help and advice when needed. Claire is also available weekly at 'Chill and Chat' where families can access friendship and support from each other. We are currently running at Stanford the weekly 'Parent Gym' course.
