OUR SHARED SERVICES
There are significant benefits associated with being part of a multi acade - my trust – enabling savings across central services, alongside the ability to invest in strategic roles supporting schools to become more effective. By ‘clubbing together’, our three schools have access to resources and support that individually they would not be able to afford, and ultimately, we are able to collaborate to provide better outcomes for our pupils.
FINANCE
We are responsible for the long- term financial sustainability of the Trust and support each school in its own budgeting. We also manage all finance processing and other financial reporting for the schools.
PEOPLE AND ADMINISTRATION
We work across the Trust and take responsibility for managing and coordinating all HR functions, implementing policies, and ensuring best practice. As well as advising and supporting Headteachers and the wider Executive Team with the selection, recruitment, development and management of all staff, we are responsible for ensuring an inclusive and kind working environment.
