Within The Education Alliance Multi Academy Trust, there are lots of opportunities for collaboration and also further opportunities to develop and progress. As a trust, we are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives. For too long in many 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 are doing everything we can to support our staff to balance the demands of their jobs and those at home.
Here at South Hunsley we passionately believe in the limitless potential of every member of our school community. We want everyone to be happy, confident and successful so we can all achieve more than we think is possible. We can promise support, care, encouragement and respect as well as really enjoyable and rewarding working and learning environment. We are genuinely committed to our students and our staff, and we do everything we can to ensure every child receives the care and guidance they need to thrive. We are proud of our school and would welcome the opportunity to give you a tour, so please don’t hesitate to contact Freya Dobson (HR Officer) on 01482 631208 or by email via Freya.Dobson@southhunsley.org.uk if you would like to visit or find out more.
To support this, we:
Trust our staff to plan, prepare and assess at the best time for them, allowing them to go off-site in their PPA
Have centralised our Behaviour Policy so teachers are freed up from supervising detentions
Demand ethical leadership built on professional trust
Reject fads and ensure our CPD is evidence-informed and predominantly subject-specific
Have reduced data collections to twice yearly
Do not expect staff to respond to emails outside normal working hours
Do not deploy staff at other Trust schools unless it is at their request
We have removed the following:
Performance management objectives and performance-related pay
Lesson observations and high stakes, toxic accountability
Onerous marking policies
Requirements for daily or weekly lesson plans
Above all, we recognise that seeking to remove the number of tasks staff undertake will have little effect on improving work/home balance if this happens within a toxic culture. To support this, we offer training for our leaders to ensure they are able to translate our values into behaviours which are built on the principles of dignity, respect, professionalism and integrity.
We offer a range of benefits, including:
payment of annual prescriptions
free eye tests
flexible working (with a large proportion of teaching leaders working part-time)
an onsite Sports Centre
investment in training and professional development
access to an Employee Assistance Package
a Be Well programme offering counselling and mental health training and support
free tea and coffee in staff rooms for all staff
free parking
a workload charter that ensures we have an enjoyable, rewarding working environment where workloads are manageable
