St Stephen's School was established in 1863 and enlarged in 1877. Originally it was built on the opposite side of the road to where the present school is located. On 21st September 1912 Miss Florence Blair, one of Harrison Blair's four daughters returned to Kearsley to lay the foundation stone of the new school. In 2003 interior alterations were made to update and benefit the school and 2005 saw the addition of three further classrooms.

The latest alteration is the almalgation of 3 smaller classrooms into 2 larger and better equipment classrooms to house reception and year 1, with a separate entrance. The building work also includes a covered play area outside the classroom doors to allow outside play in all weathers throughout the year.

The Church plays an important part in the life of the pupils at St Stephen's. The children visit Church regularly for many reasons - services, assemblies, confirmation classes, even for history and art classes. Our Vicar is also a regular visitor to school.
