Headteacher's News

 Friday 24th April 2026

Dear parents and carers of Stepney Park,

Polling Day - school closure. In case you have not yet seen the date in the ‘notices’ section at the bottom of this letter, please be aware that the school will be used as a polling station for the local elections on Thursday 7th May. This means the school will be closed to children on that day.

Stepney Park Voice. As you may be aware, this weekly newsletter is not the school’s only newsletter. This is because children in the school also write another called The Stepney Park Voice. If you’re interested in reading their thoughts, this is published on the school website here.

Sharing more information with parents. Over time, I would like to share more specific information with parents more often about how your child is doing in school, for example by sharing the results of tests and assessments they may do. We will soon be running a trial of this by sending automated emails to parents of children in year 4 about their results in a recent times tables test. If this is successful, we will then consider how to share other similar information with you more frequently so you can get a fuller picture of how your child is doing in school.

All the best for the week ahead.

Richard.

Headteacher, Stepney Park Primary School.

Stars of Stepney Park

A magical journey! During the spring term, talented pupils of Year 5 and Year 6 joined drama club for a second time in preparation to transport us all to a world of pure imagination with their spectacular production of Wizard of Oz. After months of tireless rehearsals, memorising scripts, and perfecting ambitious musical numbers, their hard work and dedication culminated in a truly remarkable show. 

Whether they were centre stage as a main character or a narrator, every student demonstrated incredible teamwork and school spirit. The energy in the room was electric as they performed for their peers and families, leaving the audience in awe of their performance. It was a wonderful celebration of the children’s creativity and commitment — a huge well done to everyone involved for making it an absolute success!

Another special shout out to the staff who also helped make it happen through resourcing and dedicating their time to make the performance a success, especially Kamran, who leads the drama club. I’d also like to thank the parents for coming to watch our performance, without you, it wouldn’t have been so special.
