What the school offers its staff
We believe in getting the right people, getting them to work together and getting them to stay’
Putting your trust in our Trust
We believe in your development. Everything we do is about creating a team of committed professionals who share our ambition for young people. If you believe in this too, we are committed to providing an exciting, enjoyable and rewarding working environment.
Coaching
Coaching is integral to our success. We support colleagues through coaching; enabling deep reflection, which has allowed us to build a bold, creative and aspirational culture, where collaboration with peers and new approaches to practice are encouraged.
Personal Improvement Plan
versus Performance Management
Instead of the usual Performance Management, we encourage our staff to identify aspirational targets through our ‘Personal Improvement Plan’ (PIP) process. With your coach, you will look to make significant progress in a critical area of your practice; we believe in valuing the process of improvement not pass or fail numerical targets.
Health and Wellbeing Strategies
Having happy and healthy staff is key to a successful organisation. The Trust is committed to:
- providing employees with a safe, healthy and supportive environment in which to work
- recognising that the health and wellbeing of our employees is important
- providing a supportive workplace culture where individuals healthy lifestyle choices are valued and encouraged
We are committed to supporting colleagues to overcome the stigma and discrimination of mental health issues within the work place. To show our commitment to this we have publicly signed up to ‘Mindful Employer’.
We believe it is important that we are role models to our students of how to be a healthy adult. We actively promote the importance of a work life balance, offering support to staff on managing stress and workload, as well as a physical activity programme. Access to coaching, counselling is also available to all staff.
Equality and Equal Opportunities
Our Trust and its schools are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity in line with the Equality Act 2010. The Trust seeks to reduce disadvantages, discrimination and inequalities of opportunity, and promote diversity in terms of its students, workforce and our wider communities we serve.
Development of Professional Capital and Excellence
As a Trust we always look to invest in our staff and pride ourselves on our ‘home grown talent’. We are proud of this and believe this has the biggest impact on how our staff understand their communities and make a difference to the lives of our young people.
Quite simply, our aim is to employ people who match our ethos and values and enable them to truly collaborate with colleagues across the Trust so that they are satisfied professionally. We provide outstanding development opportunities which draw on excellence both within and outside of our Trust to enable you to build your professional capital.
Examples of the many opportunities we encourage staff to take up externally include:
- The National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership (NPQSL)
- The National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH)
- The National Professional Qualification for Middle Leadership (NPQML)
- The Outstanding Teacher Programme (OTP)
Development opportunities occur at all levels. Some are led by staff within school or across the Trust and others are externally accredited.
Across the Trust we pride ourselves on equal opportunities for all staff, irrespective of background, gender, disability, religion, sexual orientation or age
Great access to progression and leadership responsibility
Further evidence of our investment in ‘home grown talent’ is that 86% of our TLR holders have been internal appointments. We have clear professional progression pathways within the CPD offered throughout the year at all levels within the Trust.
Collaboration across all schools
We are continually developing relationships across our Trust to enable collaboration to support learning and teaching outcomes. In addition, we are able to offer a joint CPD programme to draw upon expertise across the Trust. Staff work and meet regularly in teams across schools in the Trust and we hold an annual Strategic Planning Day, where each member of the Trust work together.
Sabbatical and flexible working policies
We have developed a unique sabbatical policy to support staff to develop their interests. For some, this has been to develop professionally, whilst others have taken this time to experience travel with their family. See our policy for further details.
Flexible working arrangements are also promoted across the Trust where possible, to enable our staff to manage their work life and family commitments.
Strong Induction Process
It is important to us that every member of staff has the right start to working in our Trust.The importance of a good induction is invaluable for new starters irrespective of previous experience. To support this, we have a strong induction process, which enables colleagues to get a real understanding of what the school is about and what it means to be part of the Trust. We hold induction meetings and provide training and resources for all new staff.
ECT Programme
We offer early careers teachers a robust, supportive and bespoke training programme which will enable you to develop into an outstanding teacher. We will follow new guidance on the ECT Early Career Framework.
Continued ECT and ECT+1 support
We ensure that ECTs and second year teachers have reduced teaching loads to allow them more opportunities for CPD throughout the school week. This also allows for peer to peer observations and additional coaching to take place to develop their practice.
Attendance of staff
Our staff are committed to their roles and ensure that students are supported to maximise their outcomes. Levels of attendance are exceptionally high across all staff and well above national averages in the education sector and beyond.
