St. Stephens School is a mixed, state-run, Church of England primary school, located in Twickenham, London, England. It is affiliated with St. Stephens Church in Twickenham and regularly holds events there.

History

St Stephen's dates back to 1876 when it was constructed at Turk's Lane (now Winchester Road) and opened under government inspection. A second building was built at Chertsey Road. The original building at Turk's Lane was later condemned by the Department of Education.^[1] In 2011, because of a lack of spaces at both Orleans Infants School and St Stephen's, Richmond Council decided ^[2] to renovate both schools, converting them to primary schools. Works were completed by 2015.
