Surveys and feedback

Parent Survey:

My Child absolutely loves the trust and is extremely excited to be part of the Pupil Senate next year. They regularly talk to me about Trust values, why they matter, and how they can embed them in daily life.

XXXX asked their teacher, unprompted, if they could litter pick after noticing that break-time snacks left a lot of rubbish in certain areas. She often discusses the people she's learnt about in assemblies.

Her best day of school was Values Day, and she loved learning about other people's hopes and dreams for the future.

XXXX often comes home saying how her work was pioneering or altruistic

For me, this is one of the trust's real strengths. I have seen the opposite approach at first hand elsewhere in my career, where direction came from people who seemed to know very little about the school, its strengths or its identity, and everything felt corporate rather than like a community. The model here could not be more different, and in my experience it genuinely benefits the children who attend these schools as well as the adults who work in them. My own children have a clear sense of belonging, both to their school and to the wider trust family. Even at a young age, they are learning that it is possible to be part of more than one team, and that belonging to something bigger also means supporting the people around you.

Staff Survey: What do you think about working for this trust?:

Trust Central team feedback on changes being made, after a coaching training session:

‘Positive Relationships built. New skills. Feel a team’
‘Thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to get to know others. It feels more like a team-hopefully this will mean we are more altruistic and ethical to one another. Being a part of the new journey of the Trust feels like we are valued. I feel like the coaching and mental health stuff upskilled me too. Really positive! Thank you got organising and the hard work!’
‘Amazing networking opportunity. And a chance to self-reflect on behaviour and how to improve communication.’
‘Working with others and understanding others. Relaunch for the trust. Greater understanding of our new visions and values.’
‘Fantastic! Really had a lovely time!, these changes are great'
‘It’s been fantastic to build relationships, a trusting team, and a clear vision!’
‘Excited- Can’t wait to roll out the new vision and continue to drive the values forward!’
‘Very positive couple of days. Has been great to get to know the Trust staff better. Really enjoyed the well-being talk especially. Coaching was very useful.’
‘Positive, exciting, informative, great company. Thank you.’
‘Refreshing, friendly, and great to see and understand how accessible support and guidance is.’

School Improvement Partner:

The work you have done, in a very short period of time, has been phenomenal and the changes made have moved forward very swiftly and for this you should be commended
