We are delighted that Rama Venchard, Chair of Trustees of STEP Academy Trust, has been awarded an MBE in the New Year’s Honours List 2023 for services to education.

A valued member of the Board, Rama Venchard has volunteered as a STEP Trustee and has provided consultancy services for the Board for several years.

Upon hearing the news, Mr Venchard said:  “I am absolutely thrilled to be recognised in this way and can only thank the brilliant colleagues with whom I have worked throughout my career as this would not have happened without them.  It was a shock to be nominated, but I feel very honoured to have received the MBE.  I’ve had many, many messages of congratulations!  I’m so humbled by the award and by everyone’s reaction to it.”

Coronavirus Update to Parents – 12/05/2020

Dear Mums, Dads and Carer(s),

You will have heard from the Prime Minister last night about the possible next steps to move the country forward from ‘Lockdown’.

The Prime Minister shared a thought that children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 may be the first to return to school in some way from early June.

As yet we have no more information than you do about this plan. We expect to receive guidance from the Department for Education this week so that we can begin to make plans to open further safely.

In the meantime we will remain open for the children of critical workers and specified pupils.

As soon as we have received the relevant guidance and new plans in place, we will be making contact to share the relevant information with you.

STEP’s Response to Covid-19

From Monday 23rd
March, schools across the country have been asked to perform very different
functions.

STEP are pleased to rise
to these new challenges and will do so with the passion and commitment that our
communities can expect.

Many of our academies will
be open on Monday to our most vulnerable learners and the children of key
workers.  All families of vulnerable learners have been contacted directly
and the below offers guidance on the definition of keyworkers and the
circumstances under which their children should attend school.

Using our in-house
catering service, we will provide meals for children on-site and have written
to the families of children who are eligible for free school meals to extend
our continued support.

Please visit your academy’s website
for further information around COVID-19, updates and details of home learning.

STEP Trustee, Dr Kate Chhatwal receives New Year Honour

We are delighted that Dr Kate Chhatwal, Trustee of STEP Academy Trust and CEO of Challenge Partners, has been awarded an OBE in the New Year’s Honours List 2020 for services to education.

A valued member of the Board, she has volunteered as a STEP Trustee and has been involved in establishing and chairing the Education Committee for four years.

Upon hearing the news, Dr Chhatwal said: “In over four years with STEP, I have been inspired by the hard work and commitment of my fellow trustees, leaders and staff across the Trust to our mission of working together to provide an excellent education for the children and communities we serve. I am proud to have had a role in STEP’s success, and have benefitted personally and professionally from what I have learned along the way. Volunteering as a trustee or governor is a great opportunity and I would encourage everyone to consider it.”
