Staff Engagement
People Survey
Our staff survey in June 2025 continued to shape the Trust's ongoing efforts to engage, support and develop its workforce, by providing an opportunity for colleagues to share their views. Feedback was thoughtful, honest and extremely valuable.
- 76% of colleagues would recommend the Trust as a good place to work
- Colleagues welcome the timely, regular updates they receive from schools and services
- Line Managers are supportive, accessible and considerate of professional/personal needs
- Colleagues enjoy a sense of wellbeing and appreciate a strong sense of support from trusted colleagues
While important work will continue within individual schools, our Trust-wide focus for 2026 centres on six key areas: prioritising workload management; flexible working; clear career pathways; increasing staff voice and leadership engagement; reducing disruptive behaviour and continuing to develop of Trust community.
