Our Trust of Schools

Retaining Great People

 

Great Benefits

Great Management

We believe great management is key to ensuring all our employees are happy, supported and successful at work. Our Ted Wragg Institute offers an extensive range of leadership and management training to ensure that all individuals receive great manager. Our Planning for Success process (which has replaced appraisals) provides the opportunity for all employees to have a personalised development plan to support them to reach their full potential and supports all our employees to be successful every year.

Flexible working

We know that flexibility is essential to allow our employees to balance their professional and personal responsibilities and support their wellbeing. Wherever possible we are committed to supporting any requests to work flexibly.  

Employee wellbeing and workload

We take employee wellbeing extremely seriously at the Trust.  We know that it is our great people who are critical to enabling us to realise our mission and transform the lives for the children in our Trust.  Alongside offering a range of wellbeing benefits including online courses, counselling and CBT.

We know that to make the biggest impact of employee wellbeing we need to constantly consider how we reduce workload across our family of schools.  Along with common curriculums, continued automation of processes and centralising systems we are working hard to reduce workload across our Trust.

We are extremely proud that two of our schools were in the top 10 performing schools for staff workload in the 2024 Edurio staff survey awards.

 

 

Our Annual Staff Survey

Employee voice is very important to us.  Along with our parent and student surveys, we annually survey our employees so that we can understand what is going well for them and what else we can do to improve.  Survey results undergo deep analysis at both Trust and individual school level and feedback is provided every year on our next steps to improve the working lives for our fantastic employees.

We are extremely proud that two of our schools were in the top 10 performing schools for staff workload in the 2024 Edurio staff survey awards.
