Human Resource Management
We have significant experience and expertise in supporting HR issues through sickness management, disciplinary process, contractual changes and staffing restructures. We offer a broad and varied CPD programme. The Trust offers, for those on our contracts, the opportunities for high quality training and support. There will be opportunities for staff of partner academies to gain additional experience working across the SLAT as well as within their own schools as part of our commitment to professional development.
Specialist School Services
There are significant opportunities for students and children to learn together across academies through sport, drama and music, and by accessing specialist facilities at each academy. There is a detailed transition programme for primary schools, giving access to specialist facilities at our academies.

Our educational visits coordinator supports an extensive range of trips and visits locally and internationally for our academies.
