Our vision is that every child in our family should only be a short walk away from a great school. Our values of Belong, Be Brave and Be Our Best support our vision and are evident in everyday life in our schools.

In practice this means that we care passionately about all the children in our schools and believe in the difference our work can make to their lives. We have a fantastic staff of over 350 people across our academies - all dedicated to this single purpose.

We don’t apologise for relentlessly driving forward improvements for the benefit of our children and staff and look for ways to collaborate within the Trust and with other schools and academies with like-minded philosophies. There will be considerable opportunities for professional development and there will be coaching and mentoring opportunities.

We have strong links with our sponsor, Nelson and Colne College, to develop skills and potential in all Trust staff. We encourage participation in relevant networks and forums with other leaders working in education.

We are a flexible and supportive employer and would consider job share or part-time working applications.

Our support staff have an excellent benefits package including a final salary pension scheme, a generous holiday entitlement and sociable hours of work and for teaching staff, we implement National Teachers’ Pay Standards and the same annual leave; pension arrangements; sick pay entitlement, etc. apply.
