- Collaborative planning across the Trust with departments in different academies able to share resources and moderation linked by Microsoft Teams.
- A lesson visit schedule that is published one year in advance.
- A performance management process that is focused on three targets only: Subject knowledge, teaching and learning and either a departmental or whole school responsibility target regardless of your level of responsibility.

- Meetings for subject teachers only twice each half term.
- Reporting to parents only three times a year and no requirement for written comments. No formally graded lesson observations – the emphasis is on coaching and sharing practice.
