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.
“The great teamwork and collaboration means that all schools contribute towards and benefit from Trust-wide support.”
“The Trust and its schools are connected. It is a collaborative way of working whilst schools still have lots of autonomy.”
"We want the best for everyone who works in Connect Academy Trust. For our children to thrive, our staff need to feel confident, valued and encouraged in their roles. To that end, the Trust is committed to developing a professional learning community, where everyone has the right to be nurtured. We also want the best people to be working in Trust, so we develop talent and strength from within, whilst also being keen to bring in outstanding people from outside the Trust."
"I feel incredibly supported. It is great being a part of a Trust as there are opportunities to work with many other talented, wise and supportive people."
“Whilst all schools invest in the trust values, each school is encouraged to develop and deliver the curriculum in their unique way.”
