The day’s events were kicked off with a trip to Queensway for a spot of ice skating. As you can see from the photos; many of the staff did their best to recreate their own version of Bambi on Ice. The ice skating was followed by a couple of rounds of bowling where A company evening would not be complete without a trip to the pub for a well earned drink … as usual for some this went on well into the night. Finally, a special well done to Andrew who had only been a non-smoker for two days before the day out and managed a night out on the town without a single puff. We’ll keep you updated on his progress to kick his horrible habit. Autumn 2011 Step Teachers achieve 100% pass rate in REC Quality Mark Audit I am very pleased to announce that Step Teachers has, once again, passed the REC Quality Mark audit with a 100% pass rate.

On what proved to be a beautiful sunny day hundreds of children, parents and members of the local community turned out to raise money for the school. Activities included singing and performances from the children, ‘dunking a teacher’ which was extremely popular, music, face painting and much much more. Marios Georgiou, whose daughter is in Green Reception Class commented, ‘It was a lovely day and the children were extremely excited, I know Polly certainly was. It’s a fantastic turn out and just shows how big the Walker Family is and how much the local community is willing to do to support our local school.’ For a full collection of pictures for the day, please visit: The next Step for Anna Trofimova After 8 years with Step Teachers, Anna called time on her career on 20th May 2011.
