About St Stephen's Infant School

St Stephen's Infant School is a state primary in South Gloucestershire that serves children from age five to seven, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 judged it Good overall — a rating it has held across both its graded inspections. The school sits within a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score is 61, though because St Stephen's is an infant school, its pupils leave at the end of Year 2 before taking KS2 SATs, so direct comparison against that LA average isn't possible. What stands out instead is the school's strong local demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 122 applications for 70 places, with 62 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.74. That level of competition suggests parents in the area see it as a solid option, even without published KS2 outcomes. The school's early years provision was also rated Good in its most recent inspection, and leadership and management have been consistently rated Good since at least 2011.
