Home Intro Image

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.

Our unique way of operating as one organisation across multiple sites allows an agreed level of consistency, STEP Way, and support, STEP Up, which enables all children to access the highest level of education. As part of our commitment to equality, we champion respect and inclusivity in our academies.

In the summer, some Year 5 pupils planted lavender and other plants, in a bid to support the wildlife - particularly bees - at our school. Our Year 1-3 pupils are continuing their work at lunch times, keeping them well watered! #OurStory @thesteptrust pic.twitter.com/0NzY12P4x6— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) September 29, 2023

Year 2 Oak Class enjoyed this week's Music lesson, recalling Musical Elements. They listened to Lambeth Walk, that correlated to their History unit on The Great Fire of London! They used percussion instruments to play in time with each other. #Expectation @thesteptrust pic.twitter.com/yiePvfGEPr— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) September 29, 2023

In Cherry Class the children practised the techniques Shuvinai Ashoona uses in her most popular pieces. Year 1 children worked hard on their pencil control and Year 2 experimented with using different texture of paper. It is safe to say that we have artists in the making! 🖼️🎨🖌️ pic.twitter.com/nJNmx4NQS1— Park Academy (@ParkAcad) September 21, 2023
