STEP Academy Trust was established in 2011. The mission of the Trust, to improve the life chances of all children, where we have the capacity to make a difference, we are morally bound to so, is what binds the Trust together as one.
Our unique way of operating as one organisation across multiple sites allows an agreed level of consistency, and support, 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. The well-being of our pupils, staff and stakeholders is paramount to us and we aim to provide a happy, safe and secure environment across our communities.
Because we work as one team across many academies, your child will have the opportunity to enjoy inter-STEP tournaments for Sports and Debating. We also safeguard your child’s health by providing a nutritious meal, freshly prepared by our in-house catering team.
We hope you enjoy finding out more about our academies, though please do look around and ask our team anything further you would like to know. We would love for you to pick one of our amazing academies for your child’s ongoing educational journey.

I love how I represent other children in the academy on the Pupil Parliament. I like the fact that I can act like the Prime Minister. I have learnt about the skills of debating and this has helped me to be patient, be a good listener and know that children have the right to speak.
Learning at our school goes beyond the classroom. I’ve been on many school trips that have brought our lessons to life –these adventures allow us to explore new places and experience learning in exciting and dynamic ways. Your child will make long-lasting positive memories at Park Academy.
At Park Academy, we deeply value the importance of nurturing world citizens who embody the values, knowledge and skills to not only achieve personal success but also to be ambassadors of positive change in the world.
We believe in cultivating a learning environment that fosters critical thinking, creativity and a sense of global responsibility. Our pupils are encouraged to embrace diversity, act with integrity, develop a strong sense of empathy and ‘stand out from the crowd’. Through our innovative curriculum and enriching experiences, we aim to equip our pupils with the tools they need to make meaningful contributions to society and lead with compassion and conviction. At Park Academy, we are not just educating pupils; we are inspiring future leaders and change-makers.
We believe every moment at school is an opportunity for learning, so everything we do is intentional and purposeful. Our research-driven approaches ensure that all children can achieve success. We are committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where our pupils are empowered to have a voice and become lifelong learners.

At Park Academy, we believe in enriching your child’s educational journey with a variety of engaging and enjoyable activities. Our extensive range of clubs, including sports, art, computing, cooking, dance, choir and competitive events, offer something for every interest and passion.
At Park Academy, we recognise that true learning extends beyond the confines of the classroom. To enrich our pupils’ educational journeys, we organise a diverse array of educational visits designed to inspire curiosity and complement our curriculum.
Our carefully selected excursions range from trips to museums and historical sites to outdoor adventures in nature reserves. These experiences provide invaluable opportunities for hands-on learning, fostering deeper understanding and igniting lifelong passions.
Whether delving into science through creative workshops or exploring history in a museum, our pupils gain real-world insights that enhance their academic journey and broaden their horizons.
At Park Academy, we believe that every excursion is an opportunity for growth and discovery, helping our pupils to develop a well-rounded perspective and a genuine love for learning.
