We know that the success of any school depends on the people who show up every day to make it all happen. That’s why we nurture and invest in our schools’ staff, enabling them to be their best.
When your school is part of the Connect family, you will benefit from a carefully calibrated system of training and development. That means having access to the expertise, support and resources you need.
Plus, we’re committed to a rigorous development and training programme for staff – whether you’re a teacher, caretaker, administrative assistant or leader. This will help you advance your skills, benefit from specialist expertise, and get the input you need to enable you to perform at your best.
“Whilst all schools invest in the trust values, each school is encouraged to develop and deliver the curriculum in their unique way.”
"A sense of a wider team and support network. You never feel on your own as you are surrounded by knowledge and expertise."
"As a new headteacher into the trust, I value the collaborative ethos that runs through the central and leadership team. This allows me to utilise the expertise of the colleagues beyond our school."
"It has felt good to be part of a larger team. I know I can contact other members of the Trust to collaborate, support each other and share our knowledge."
"There's a supportive and caring atmosphere. Senior leaders are aware of staff and pupil wellbeing and always consider ways this can be improved. I feel listened to."
