We seek to create a nurturing academy community which places our learners at the heart of everything we do; where our children’s learning experiences are varied and inclusive, ensuring the highest standards of learning, and all are supported to be successful in reaching their full potential. Our STEP Way is driven by our core curriculum principles: COLLABORATION, CURIOSITY, COMMUNICATION; empowering our children to apply their learning in CONTEXT.
STEP Academy Trust is committed to improving the life chances of all children. Where we have the capacity to make a difference we are morally bound to do so.
To develop a united partnership of excellent academies, where empowered leaders place our learners at the heart of everything and all are supported to be successful.
Passion — Our aim is to always provide for the pupils of our Academies what we would want for our own children.
Urgency — The amount of time children spend in education is finite. We have a responsibility to ensure that every moment a child is in a STEP Academy must be spent productively.
Positivity — Staff have a responsibility to be positive and supportive of each other.
Aspiration — Embodied in the Trust motto, “Striving Together for Excellence in Partnership”.
Commitment — Staff are prepared to go the extra mile to provide the best possible education for their pupils.
We offer a warm welcome to you and your child and thank you for showing an interest in our Academy.
Underpinning all we do is a belief that every moment a child is in school must be used effectively — if time is wasted, it is lost forever and cannot be given back. All our structures and policies are designed to maximise the learning potential of the time our children spend in school. We aim to make our children’s learning experiences varied and inclusive; raising standards, particularly in Literacy and Numeracy, remains our main objective.
Although we place particular emphasis on the acquisition of basic skills, we also have great provision for sport and the humanities. The successes of every child matters. Indeed, it is the children who make our Academy such a special place.
“Collaboration, communication and curiosity”
