About Attain Academy Partnership
Thank you for considering working with us within the Attain Academy Partnership! Hopefully this information will help you to understand what it would be like to work within our close, committed and collaborative team of school leaders. Our Headteachers work together to create the conditions in which leadership can flourish and each child can better achieve their potential. Whilst maintaining their autonomy, our Headteachers very much value and benefit from being part of a dynamic network who are constantly working to achieve a shared vision for all of our children. As members of the Trust, they also enjoy additional support, resources and funding to enable their schools to succeed and all their pupils to thrive.
The true strength of Attain lies in its people. Our schools employ talented, caring and committed staff and support happy pupils who are proud to be there. Our Local Governing Bodies and our Trustees are both ambitious and supportive and we have developed strong relationships with our parent bodies. This partnership approach involves all members of the school and trust community, achieving significant levels of mutual support which support the successful outcomes of all our children. This document will give an overview of some of the people and processes within Attain which ensure our Headteachers can access the established strength and expertise within the existing team to inform and advise when necessary.
Additionally, any new member of our team brings fresh ideas and strengthens the development of our educational journey and as such I am very keen to welcome any questions or queries which challenge our existing practice and offer innovative changes
