Meet Our People
Our Trust has approximately 550 staff that are all committed to delivering the best possible opportunities for the young people in our organisations to flourish.
Every single person involved in our Trust is critical to our success, and we place no ego on position or title. Everyone is as important and is equally valued.
Our employee's work is supported by the vision of the Members and the strategy of the Trustees, and then under the daily encouragement of our Headteachers and with the support of our Central Team.
The websites of each individual organisation give the details of those working in that particular setting (Our Settings).
