What the school offers its staff

Our trust is cross phase and consists of primary, special, and secondary schools. We have a vision to transform lives through a highly inclusive approach. ‘Inclusion is at the heart of our trust’. Which means we are compassionately rigorous and support all of our pupils to reach their full potential, have unconditional positive regard, leave no one behind and everyone is welcome.

Our schools work closely with one another; they collaborate with purpose, support each other and share collective systems across both educational and business provisions. But it’s also important to us that each school has their own identity and individuality. We focus on impact, always making sure common sense is at the heart of our decision making, ensuring clarity and consistency from our leaders.

Our people matter; we understand that we can only achieve our vision by recruiting the right people and providing them with the support, training and time they need to allow them to flourish and be the best that they can be.

Whatever role an individual undertakes within our organisation, they are contributing to our collective aim of transforming lives. We invest heavily in our people ensuring they feel valued, and their well-being is always considered. We understand that if staff feel valued and if the impact they are having is recognised, they can perform at their best.
