Our People Culture
Our people culture is rooted in openness, respect and everyday support for one another.
We aim to create workplaces where colleagues feel valued, listened to and able to develop.
We are enhancing our culture by focusing on:
- Early resolution and constructive approaches to conflict
- Developing managers so they can better support their teams
- Clear policies that uphold dignity, respect and wellbeing
These Trust‑wide efforts are already improving how colleagues experience their work.
Professional Development and Career Growth
We support colleagues throughout every stage of their career with:
- Steplab instructional coaching across all academies, driving evidence‑informed professional development for teaching staff
- Career pathway discussions to help colleagues plan and progress their careers
- Ongoing Trust‑wide CPD opportunities and development programmes
Whatever your role — teaching, support or leadership — we will support you to grow and thrive.
Staff Wellbeing and Benefits
Supporting staff wellbeing is central to our ethos. We provide:
- An annual staff survey based on HSE stress‑management standards, with action plans created for each academy and outcomes benchmarked against national public‑sector data
- A workplace culture that encourages openness, support, and positive working relationships, reflected in staff feedback from our People & Wellbeing Survey 2026
- Generous leave of absence and a willingness to support flexible working where possible, recognising that some life moments are more important than work
Staff Voices
Our colleagues describe their experience of working in the Trust as supportive, flexible and positive. As shared in our People & Wellbeing Survey 2026:
"A great team who work hard and put their all into ensuring that our academies are well supported and served. I am lucky to work with a team like this."
"I have made friends and I feel more respected and confident in what I do."
"Having a supportive line manager. Continuing to be part of a team that is always there to offer help or listen."
These reflections highlight the strong sense of community and shared purpose within our teams.
