Stephen Freeman Primary School

Stephen Freeman Primary School is a 2 form entry school on the edge of Great Western Park in Didcot.  We passionately believe that ‘everybody; every moment and every idea counts’ and are committed to ensuring that we provide the highest quality education for the children of our local community.

We are firm believers in developing the whole child and we dedicate a lot of time and resources into out nurture provision and we pride ourselves on the strong links we have with other professional agencies.  The curriculum is exciting and engaging which encourages out children to develop our 8 learning skills.  We want our children to develop a sense of responsibility, to be self motivated, purposeful, creative and reflective in the approach to learning.  We encourage the children to communicate effectively and reflect on their experiences while enabling them to overcome barriers with resilience and a willingness to take learning risks.

Our Vision

“At Stephen Freeman School, we nurture and empower everyone to aspire beyond their expectations, by cultivating curiosity, celebrating individuality and creating life-long learners to contribute positively to the wider community.”

Our Vision

“At Stephen Freeman School, we nurture and empower everyone to aspire beyond their expectations, by cultivating curiosity, celebrating individuality and creating life-long learners to contribute positively to the wider community.”

At Stephen Freeman Primary School, we believe that there are no limits to learning. As our school motto states, ‘Everybody, Every Moment, Every Idea Counts’ and we are committed to providing an engaging and rich curriculum.

• Our curriculum is thematically planned; each topic consists of a ‘wow moment’ or activity to engage and immerse children in their learning.
• Reading is at the heart of our curriculum. Each topic is linked to a high-quality text or story. We also use storytelling techniques, which inspire children to innovate and create their own narratives and creative thinking. As well as building up a repertoire of stories and texts, there is a focus on tiered vocabulary; children are giving the opportunity to discuss and debate issues, dilemmas and themes.
• Our curriculum is purposeful and the learning journey finishes with an end product – you might see a group protest about deforestation, or buy a product from our entrepreneurs during Enterprise Week.
• Our school environment and class displays reflect what the children are learning, demonstrate ownership and celebrate the progress and achievement of all our children.
