This guide brings together first-hand insight from leaders running some of the country’s most successful trusts in the country’s most challenged communities, including a headteacher named ENA Headteacher of the Year and a trust CEO whose values-led approach has taken 45 schools from ‘failing’ to ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’. They share what’s actually working, not just theory.
What’s inside:
- Why staff retention starts with your MAT’s story, long before you advertise a role
- A values-based recruitment process you can put into action straight away
- How to build psychologically safe teams that solve problems before they escalate
- Quick, low-cost culture wins other trusts are already using
- Why an aligned curriculum reduces workload and frees staff to focus on teaching
