Welcome to Our Staff Team!

As we say fond farewells to some much-loved members of staff, we’re also delighted to welcome new faces to the St Stephen’s community for the upcoming academic year.

We’re delighted to welcome Freya Jiang, who will be leading whole school singing and also teaching singing lessons in Year 4. A fabulous musician with many years of teaching experience, Freya brings great energy and expertise to our team. We’re excited to have her join us and look forward to the musical inspiration she’ll bring to the school.

We’re also delighted to welcome Monica Davidian to our Year 1 team. She will be working on Thursdays in Pankhurst Class and brings with her a wealth of experience, particularly in leading early reading. We’re thrilled to have her on board and know she will be a great support to both children and staff.

As we shared last week, our beloved Maggie Libura will be leaving her role as in-house mentor at St Stephen’s. While we will miss her deeply, we are delighted to announce that Emily Scoffield will be taking on the role. Having worked with us over the past year, Emily already knows many of our children and is excited to get to know those she hasn’t yet met. She brings a wealth of experience in counselling and, as a valued member of our St Stephen’s family, we couldn’t wish for a better person to step into this important role.
