Working in the trust, teachers and associate staff benefit from sharing best practice from a wide range of expertise across each school. Staff benefit from joint training and a collaborative approach, leading to a richer experience for both staff and students.
The trust is dedicated to developing, growing and retaining talented leaders and staff across the trust and invests heavily in staff development. As the trust has developed, a wealth of opportunities for staff have arisen, enabling us to develop exciting career paths for those who work within the trust beyond those in a traditional, stand-alone academy or school.
Details of all teaching and non-teaching vacancies in the trust can be found on our vacancies page.
The Workload Charter
For too long in too many English schools, staff have been asked to choose between being seen as good at their job and being a good mum, dad, partner, son, daughter or friend. We say, “no more”.
While we are far from perfect, 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 Leadership
Our Ethical Leadership Charter provides our leaders with the principles to support them with ethical behaviours:
- Trust
- Optimism
- Kindness
- Courage
- Service
- Wisdom
- Justice
- Vision
