We see ourselves as a community of learners, where every member of our staff is empowered to make decisions, collaborate, lead, and most importantly, grow. Our dedication to the quality of our daily work is unwavering, as we recognise our staff as our most valuable asset.  

Our professional growth processes are meticulously designed to ensure that each GLT staff member, regardless of their role, can excel and reach their full potential. By fostering a culture of high expectations and providing a clear framework for consistent professional development, we aim to support our staff in becoming trusted and valued professionals.  

Continuous Professional Growth  

Effective professional growth:  

• Enhances knowledge and expertise  
• Focuses on what works and is evidence-informed  
• Involves collaboration with colleagues  
• Is sustained over time with opportunities for learning, reflection, and feedback 

Effective Professional Reflection  

Professional growth involves effective reflection based on professional standards within the Trust. The focus is on solutions, building on strengths before addressing areas for improvement. The Trust promotes a culture of quality assurance from within. The 'Growing Great People' policy aims to drive continuous improvement, accountability, and a culture of professionalism within the Great Learners Academy Trust.  

Why work for Great Learners Trust? 

As well as professional development benefits, we know the importance of physical and mental health and wellbeing. We offer our staff members Hello Fresh discounts, discounted gym memberships and access to the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP). The EAP offers counselling and support and is a fully confidential service.   

We also recognise the importance of time. Time for teachers is their most precious asset and we offer time back for additional service. For example, if teachers run after school clubs, they receive time back in leu. Through the power of technology, we are always striving for new and innovative ways to save teachers’ time, through shared planning, collaborative sharing of resources and tools to help children to be independent in their learning.
