Sell or let your property with
Horton and Garton and nominate

3 St Stephen’s CE Primary
They’ve embraced the Good
Life at St Stephen’s CE Primary,
where the most recent activity
has involved the creation of a
kitchen garden full of edible
plants, plus chickens and bees!
Headteacher Michael Schumm
explained: “The kitchen garden
will create an oasis in the middle
of the school, filled with growing
boxes, trees and seating areas.
“It will be an outside
classroom where children can
grow different vegetables,
then cook them or use them
for school lunches. As well as
chickens and beehives, we’re
planning lots of sensory plants.”
The project, which also
includes rainwater collection and
a bug hotel, is benefiting from
Tesco’s 5p carrier bag charge.
2 St Peter’s CE Primary
It’s been a terrific summer for
St Peter’s, with the St Peter’s
Road school basking in the
‘outstanding’ rating from Ofsted,
where it gained top marks in
every area. “I was delighted,”
said headteacher Karen Frazer,
who joined the school in
September 2015 and steered
everyone forward after the
previous ‘good’ Ofsted rating.
Among the school’s less
conventional extra-curricular
activities are the teaching of
Mandarin and karate.
Ofsted inspectors described
the St Peter’s pupils’ behaviour
as ‘impeccable’, adding that the
youngsters were given a superb
start to their academic lives.

1 Flora Gardens Primary
Flora’s headteacher Sam Naismith
vowed to transform his school’s
fortunes after Ofsted ruled that
it ‘required improvement’ when
inspectors visited in March 2015.
At the time Mr Naismith was
three weeks into his new job.
Boy oh boy has that vow come
true! Ofsted now rates the Dalling
Road school as ‘good with
outstanding features’, reserving
special praise for pupils’ personal
development, welfare and
behaviour… especially among
disadvantaged young students.
Other areas where Flora
Gardens scored highly included
sport and music, while the
number of lunchtime and after-
school clubs has shot up from
one to 18.
Primary schools in Hammersmith and
Shepherds Bush go from strength to
strength, as parents (and Ofsted) confirm
