Governing Body / Academy Committee

STEP Governance 

The name STEP, an acronym, reflects the aspirational nature of the organisation - Striving Together for Excellence in Partnership. Inspired by the commitment to improve  children’s life chances, STEP Academies work together to provide high quality learning  experiences for all their pupils. 

Breakwater Academy Committee  

“STEP First” is the notion that, first and foremost, everyone is committed to being part of  The STEP Academy Trust. All governors must be fully aligned to the Trust’s Mission and  Vision. Although serving one or more particular Academies, governors are members of  the wider STEP team.

We are all one team, in one organisation, working towards the same goal: to be outstanding in all we do – STEP First!
