We are successful in helping children who struggle with learning by focusing on our workforce pillars. With the support of these exceptional adults, our children, who will always find aspects of learning challenging, will thrive in the whole team’s care and guidance.

A well-functioning education system recognises that learning can be difficult for all children and may be an ongoing struggle for many. Therefore, we are dedicated to investing in and supporting our workforce so they can effectively navigate these challenging roles across our Trust.
Together, we are tackling the challenge of delivering inclusive, high-quality education by gradually developing systems and strategies that remove barriers to learning and participation for our workforce.

The Trust offers a range of professional development opportunities to meet the needs of our organisation and colleagues at all stages of their career. Each school has their bespoke, universal offer that is planned through the academic year and can respond to needs. Our internal, Trust offer is expanding to offer a new suite of internal programmes, alongside established events such as The BIG Conversation conference and Small Talk twilight series. As an outward-facing Trust we understand that, in addition to our internal programmes, we need to
draw on external expertise in our ambition to develop all colleagues. Individual schools are engaged with a wide range of organisations to support their community needs and have opportunities that build on the central offer. The external offer is divided into ‘education’ and ‘operational’, with opportunities for all levels of career.
