St Stephen's School Twickenham

What St Stephen's School Twickenham does

St Stephen's School Twickenham (legally St Stephen's CofE Primary School) is a Church of England state-funded primary school located at Winchester Road, St Margarets, Twickenham, TW1 1LF, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Founded in 1988 and operating under the oversight of the Church of England Richmond Diocese, it serves pupils from Reception through Year 6 (ages 4-11), delivering 35.5 hours of schooling per week across a broad national curriculum including English, Maths, Science, RE, Modern Foreign Languages, Computing, PE, and PSHE/RSE. Core delivery is funded primarily through UK government per-pupil allocations administered via the Richmond local authority admissions system.

The school is governed by a charity structure: the St Stephen's School Trust (Registered Charity 800126), established in 1988, accepts donations, legacies, and Gift Aid contributions to support capital and equipment needs. Ancillary revenue streams include St. Stephens' Stars wraparound care (before/after school childcare from an on-site studio), a portfolio of paid before/after school clubs (Judo, TechnoKids Lego Robotics, TechnoKids STEM AI, Performing Arts, Drama, LAMDA), and community hall hire starting at £100 per two-hour session. The technology stack is conventional for a UK primary school: the SchoolSpider platform powers the website, virtual learning environment, parent portal, and integrated online payments; Google Forms handles digital consent and administrative requests.

The school's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, targeting local families through its website, an active Instagram channel (@ststephens.cofe), weekly parent newsletters, and structured monthly school tours (third Monday of each month, 10-11am). Distribution occurs through the Richmond Council admissions portal and direct school contact. Mrs Liz Bachour serves as Headteacher. Operational strengths include consecutive School Games Platinum Awards (2022, 2023), Attachment Aware Schools Award, STARS Gold sustainable travel accreditation, and RFU Affiliated School status. The 2026 Reception intake is being actively promoted with an expanded catchment area.
