Each school within the Trust is supported by our Central Team who work with Principals and their teams on school improvement, teaching and learning, finance, facilities and operations, IT, HR and governance issues. This support allows the Principal and Local Governing Body (LGB) to focus on delivering the highest standards in their school. The LGB works to a Scheme of Delegation approved by the Trust’s Board of Directors.
Our culture of ambition is clearly focussed on our PEOPLE and their LEARNING. We support all members of our team to do the best job they can by ensuring high quality professional development in a healthy workplace environment where wellbeing is seen as an essential requirement for success.
