Future Developments

As a Trust with a moral compass and in line with our mission & values, we continue to work together within STEP and more widely with the school sector to continue to grow, develop and innovate.

We continue to provide both internal and external support within the Trust and beyond. In 2025, we launched the STEP Institute of Education, bringing together our existing teaching school hub alongside the newly established curriculum and professional development hubs.

We continue to expand the support and provision for our SEND pupils across the Trust, so that it is world class. STEP’s commitment to developing leadership in this area at all levels was recognised with the SEND Excellence Award 2025.
