Why work for

By working in partnership together, we share best practice across teaching and business disciplines, as well as curriculum expertise and knowledge to deliver the best outcomes for pupils and students.
John Taylor Teaching School Hub and Staffordshire Research School as key parts of the Trust, providing evidence-based expertise and a wide range of professional development. More information on the services they provide is available here: https://jttshub.co.uk/ and https://researchschool.org.uk/staffordshire
Our Central Team aims to do the “heavy lifting” for schools, focusing on business and compliance elements, with experts in Attendance, SEND, School Improvement (primary and secondary specialists), Governance, Compliance, Clerks, Finance, IT, Marketing and Communications, HR and Estates. For our business support colleagues in our schools, this means they have a point of contact for advice and support in their roles.
We focus on 4 key areas in order to drive success:
- Making sure we know each school – the strengths it can bring and any areas in which it will need support.
- Having consistency of core systems across schools – establishing coherent and clear foundations upon which to build innovation and consequent success.
- Developing and empowering our leaders – to drive forward plans, people and progress.
- Maintaining a focus on teaching and learning – through engendering growth mindsets in all teachers and learners and providing opportunities to support that growth.
There are also a range of employee benefits that are available – for more information on these, please visit the Employee Benefits tab.
