At Stephen's Tockholes we aim to promote the personal development of pupils.  Our values Respectful, Responsible and Ready encourage them to be kind, ambitious, honest, independent, reslient and creative in all aspects of school life.   We provide a wide range of experiences and enrichment activities to help pupils identify and build on their talents and interests.   We strive to prepare the pupils for 'life in all it's fullness'. 

We offer opportunities for pupils to explore and develop their values and beliefs, spiritual awareness, support high standards of personal behaviour, developa positive caring attitude towards others, an understanding of their social and cultural traditions and an appreciation of the diversity and richness of other cultures.
