What the school offers its staff
Why join Enhance Academy Trust?
Some quotes from our Headteachers:
Over the past academic year, the Trust have supported our academy to continue to move forward at all levels. Up to date, relevant and well considered advice and guidance is always available and appreciated. Trust leaders ensure that views of school leaders are always valued and opportunities for personal and professional growth are actively encouraged. Our children are consistently achieving better at all phases than at any other time in the academy’s history; the Trust is a key part of that success.
Having been a Headteacher of a Local Authority school before joining Enhance, I can fully appreciate what the Trust offers to its schools. The support, whether it be school improvement, financial, HR or estates, is second to none and helps to drive schools forward to ensure that the children get the very best. The Central Team know each school very well and understand the different contexts that our schools serve.
The support and challenge provided through external and school improvement visits from Enhance Academy Trust have been instrumental in driving meaningful change. These visits offer clarity on our goals and ensure that our leadership remains proactive and aligned with current national initiatives. The tailored advice and guidance empower our school to not only meet expectations but to thrive. This invaluable partnership truly enables schools to flourish.
As a Trust, we have developed a range of employee benefits. Here are just a few examples:
- Membership to either the Teachers’ Pension Scheme
- Physical and mental health support from a team of experienced nurses, counsellors, therapists, physiotherapists, consultants plus NHS GPs and private medical services.
