CLASSES
We are a one form entry school, with a published admission number of 30 per year group. Each class has it's own dedicated classroom, suitably equipped for the age of the children in the class. Our classes are all named after trees; with our youngest children beginning life at Steeple Morden as Acorns in Early Years Foundation Stage (Reception) and finishing their primary education with us as Oak Class (Year 6). Please select your child's class to find out more about what they have been learning.

Children's Activities
​
Clubs
​
We hold a number of extra-curricular activity clubs before school, at lunchtimes and after school. For more information please go to the Clubs Page.
School Council
​
Our School Council, made up of representatives from every class (voted for by our peers) and we meet every month. Our views feed into decision making at our school Minutes of our meetings are available to view below and these are some of our recent highlights:
​
We wanted to update our reading material and introduce books to school that our classmates had enjoyed reading at home. We also asked our teachers if there were books they thought we would enjoy reading, that we can see ourselves in but also show what the wider world is like. We worked with the finance manager to set up an amazon wish list so people know what we would like. This has so far resulted in about £2,000 in new books that we can read in school and we continue to update this regularly.
​
We raised £180 for charity by organising a bake sale and treasure hunt – this was split between the school and our nominated charity, Water Aid.
We have sought and documented the views of our classmates on a range of issues such as:
• what makes a good display
• how would you like to be rewarded for good behaviour
• what opportunities they would you like in geography fieldwork
• how are we resilient
• what is our playground experience how could it be improved
• what helps you to reflect and be calm in school
• what ideas do you have around the four curriculum drivers: arts, environment, independence and spirituality.

Eco Schools
​​​
The Planet Protectors (a child from each year group from 1-6) are part of the international The Eco-Schools programme, which provides a simple, seven-step framework that empowers young people to make a difference in their school, local community and beyond. The school was awarded the prestigious green flag, with merit, in September 2023.
The school’s Environmental review score continued to improve each year, from 43 in 2022- 2023, to 63 in 2023-2024 to 73 in 2024-2025. The Environmental review results for 2024- 2025 identified marine (plastics), School Grounds and litter as areas for improvement:
• In January 2025 Eleanor (a Planet Protector) spoke in assembly about their work to the whole school about the RSPB’s great bird watch and this went out to parents and at least a quarter of the school said they took part. The survey helped the RSPB gain a snapshot of how garden birds are faring.
• In Spring and Summer 2025. Tips written in the Star on how to save water at home.
• In Spring 2025 Children identified the bug hotel was in a dilapidated state. This was fixed by children to provide home for diverse wildlife.
• In 2026 we are developing a wildlife garden to increase biodiversity in the school grounds. This ties in with the school's climate action plan.
• Planet Protectors have worked with Year 6 Ground force to design posters Keep the lid on the bin and don’t drop litter posters.
• Art competition to be run in Autumn Term to draw attention to plastic waste and to reuse plastic.
• April Holley has reused plastic bottles (brought in by children) to make green house and improve grounds at front of school.
Genesis 2:15 King James Version
15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
The idea that "we are stewards of the earth" means that humans have a responsibility to care for and manage the planet, acting as caretakers rather than owners. Our uses of the earth must be designed to conserve and renew it rather than to deplete or destroy it.
