Stanmore excels in school evaluation

18 Sep 2025

Stanmore Public School has been recognised for excellence in its recent Department of Education External Validation.

Stanmore Public School has achieved outstanding results in its recent External Validation, a Department of Education process that takes place every four years.

Our executive team worked hard to present evidence of how our school is meeting, and exceeding, the expectations set out in the School Excellence Framework. The external panel confirmed our self-assessment in 10 elements and recommended that four more be lifted into the  excelling  category.

Why this matters

Lead panelist feedback

”The conversations today demonstrated your critical thinking and decision making which have allowed you to adapt, innovate and thrive as a whole school community. Your ability, as a team, to analyse, synthesise, and evaluate to support creativity and innovation is a demonstrated success in your school. It was wonderful to hear each of the team members talk about the submission, the everyday practices of the school and the genuine passion for Stanmore that they have… Please celebrate with, and thank the school community, as the External Validation submission and process is recognition of the everyday hard work and commitment of all those that make up a school community.“

This recognition is a celebration of the hard work of our staff, students and families, and highlights the strength of public education in NSW. We are proud to see our everyday efforts reflected in such positive results and grateful to our entire school community for making this possible.
