The staff and Governors of Stepgates Community School, supported by the children, parents, FOSS and the local community, continue to raise funds towards their dream to build an enclosure around our new outdoor pool. This will facilitate year-round swimming for all of our children, children from other local schools and local community clubs and associations.
