Our purpose is to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives. Our charters and blueprints define the principles that shape who we are, how we work, and how we grow.
Rooted in our core values of doing what is right, standing shoulder to shoulder and focusing on quality in everything we do, these documents set out our shared commitments, from supporting staff wellbeing and professional development to championing ethical leadership, school improvement, and nurturing pupil excellence.
Together, they provide a clear and consistent foundation for delivering lasting, positive impact across all our schools.
TEAL Charters
The Workload Charter
We will do everything we can to support our staff to balance the demands of their jobs and those at home, and we recognise that in everyone’s life there are good times and bad. It is the job of all of us to support each other through both.
Ethical Behaviours Charter
Our Ethical Behaviours Charter provides all staff the principles to support each other at every level within TEAL.
Staff Wellbeing Charter
We want to help our staff remain happy, healthy, productive and well. It is important to us that our staff feel energised at work, connected to a sense of common purpose, and that they feel equipped and able to thrive, succeed and achieve.
Wellbeing & Mental Health Service
Partners and services available to students and staff, supporting physical and mental health.
TEAL Blueprints & Frameworks
Teacher Development Framework
At the heart of making great schools, is a great teacher in every classroom. The TEAL Teacher Development Framework supports us in fulfilling our professional commitment to becoming the best teachers we can be.
Personal Excellence Blueprint
Our Personal Excellence Blueprint will empower every pupil with the skills, knowledge, values, experiences and opportunities needed to thrive in an ever-changing world, while celebrating their unique identities and fostering a sense of belonging.
Behaviour Blueprint
Our Behaviour Principles outline how every school should operate and they underpin the trust’s commitment to helping all staff and young people to thrive.
Curriculum Blueprint
Our schools will deliver a curriculum that has at its heart the intention to support pupils/students to be the best they can possibly be by removing barriers and ensuring social justice.
School Improvement At Scale Framework
A fundamental benefit of working as part of our trust is the capacity we can bring collectively to share the best of our thinking, whilst reducing the duplication of effort. We ensure our school improvement strategy is systematically implemented through a five-stage cycle, where we work as partners in trust-wide networks (‘done with, not to’), covering each of our 5 priority areas.
Teaching Blueprint
Our Teaching Blueprint exemplifies what high-quality inclusive teaching looks like in our schools. There is no prescriptive order or set number of strategies that should be seen in any given lesson. Effective teaching and relationships within TEAL involves using a range of the strategies from each strand.
