We are KIND!

"My husband and I like the small class sizes, as such not only are they academically challenged, they are taught good character and values. The teachers are striving to help them develop a sense of individuality, accountability and responsibility. We are particularly appreciative of the partnership we have with the school and its teachers because it is helping our children to be the best they can be, building their confidence, becoming rounded and happy individuals."

"We had spent months looking endlessly for a school that fitted the needs of our two sons after relocation from the USA. We visited Steephill School and immediately loved it. Small by design yet offering a warm ,comfortable and family atmosphere. The school has given our more than what we bargained for. As a family it is important for our boys to be prepared to be global citizens which is reflected by Steephill curriculum. They cultivate cross-cultural awareness activities through its international days , I see the boys are becoming more open and developing more meaningful, satisfying relationships."

British Values

Promoting British Values

At our school, we actively promote the core British Values of Democracy, The Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect, and Tolerance of Different Faiths and Beliefs. These values are woven through our curriculum, assemblies, and everyday school life to help our children become responsible, respectful, and active citizens.

Pupils learn about democracy by taking part in class decisions, voting for School Council and Eco Council representatives, and sharing their views with confidence. They develop an understanding of laws by exploring school rules and wider societal expectations, recognising how these help to keep everyone safe.

We encourage children to make informed choices and express themselves freely while showing kindness and respect to others. Through celebrating diversity, learning about different cultures and beliefs, and working collaboratively, our pupils grow in empathy and understanding.

By living out these values together, we prepare our children not just for the future, but to make a positive difference today.

Our Pupil Ambassadors

At Steephill we pride ourselves on developing leaders for the future. Each child in Year 6 is allocated a role which they undertake for the duration of the school year. We challenge each of them to leave behind a lasting legacy which develops their role for future generations.

School Council & Eco Council

At Steephill School, we believe every child’s voice matters. Our School Council and Eco Council play a vital role in helping shape our school and the wider community and making positive changes for everyone.

Pupils from each class are elected to represent their peers and meet regularly to share ideas, discuss improvements and plan projects. Whether they are organising events, promoting kindness or suggesting ways to make learning even better, our School Council members show fantastic leadership and responsibility.

Working alongside them, our Eco Council champions sustainability across the school. From reducing waste and promoting recycling to encouraging wildlife and energy-saving initiatives, they help us all think and act in greener ways. Their passion inspires others to care for our planet—starting right here in our classrooms and playgrounds.

Together, our School Council and Eco Council empower children to be active citizens, confident communicators and caring members of our community.
