Who We Are The Education Alliance Multi-Academy Trust was established in 2015 so that South Hunsley School and Sixth Form College could support the setting up of Hunsley Primary School, the East Riding’s first and only Free School. In February 2016, Malet Lambert School, an 11-16 school in Hull, joined the trust and the following year, Driffield School and Sixth Form joined as a sponsored academy. The most recent school to join is The Snaith School, an 11-16 school, and we expect North Cave CE Primary School to join at the start of the academic year 2019-20. In addition to the six schools, South Hunsley School is also a Teaching School (The lead in Wolds Teaching School Alliance) and an Associate Research School. The trust also operates Yorkshire Wolds Teacher Training, the only SCITT based in East Yorkshire, which is training a new generation of primary and secondary teachers in East Riding and Hull. YWTT was judged to be Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted in October 2019. The central team are located at the Teacher Development Centre, which is based on the campus of South Hunsley School. There are dedicated meeting rooms and training spaces which are utilised by Wolds TSA, Wolds Associate Research School and Yorkshire Wolds Teacher Training.

Our purpose We are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives.

How we do this The way we do this is by:

Always doing what is right Trusting in each other and standing shoulder to shoulder Doing what we know makes the difference

Doing what is right means always acting with integrity, in the interests of others, and being honest, open and transparent.

TEAL has a clear, transparent and effective governance framework. Further information regarding the Members, Trustees and Governing Bodies can be found on the TEAL website alongside our Governance Framework and Scheme of Delegation.

When VPs and APs are in schools for their teaching days they should be treated like, and act like part of the senior team of that school. This involves attending and contributing to briefings and meetings and

being involved in decision making. Also being part of the duty rota in line with what is expected of school SLTs and being part of the cover pool email when emergency unforeseen last-minute cover is required. It

is equally important that TEAL colleagues are seen to be ‘chipping in’ but also given opportunity to do so to reflect our common purpose and team ethos of ‘standing shoulder to shoulder'

We Value Our Employees “We are here to make great schools and happier, stronger

communities so that people have better lives.” We recognise that the commitment and care shown by all our people are fundamental to the success of our young people and we promise our staff that they will be supported, encouraged, respected and provided with an enjoyable and rewarding working environment.

Our culture is one of professional trust, respect, honesty and high aspiration. Staff and young people inspire each other and they work and study in an environment, which enables everyone to flourish and perform at their best.

The Workload Charter Along with students, our staff are our most important asset and we are committed to being an employer of choice across the region.

A happy and healthy workforce is vital for the success of our students and we have worked closely with our trade union colleagues to develop the workload charter. The charter underpins our determination to ensure that our schools are great places to work.

The charter clearly sets out our collective approach to day-to-day delivery and how we work together, providing a framework that covers the key challenges we face as professionals in the education sector.. Further details can be found on our TEAL website.

Continuing Professional Development The Education Alliance is committed to the Professional Development of staff. As an adaptive, agile organisation, we seek to enrich employee capability, maximising the strengths of each and every person who works with us. The trust invests in learning and development, providing employees with a range of opportunities aligned to the needs of the organisation and needs of young people.

Time to Change Time to change is a growing movement of people changing how we think and act about mental health problems with research suggesting that around 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem each year and many people fear stigma and discrimination, which impacts on their willingness to seek help and support when they need it. In 2019, Jonny Uttley publicly signed the Time to Change Pledge.

14 | W e V a l u e O u r E m p l o y e e s

Be Well From September 2019, through our partnership with Pagabo, a local company, we have generated funding outside our schools’ normal funding to enable us to set up our Be Well programme. The programme supports students and staff with well-being and mental health. As a trust, we are investing £600,000 over four years, in partnership with Humber NHS and Hull and East Yorkshire Mind, to deliver an integrated package of information, training and support.

The Be Well Programme includes:

Bespoke action plans and interventions in our schools, based on feedback received from staff, students and parents

Training sessions for staff and information sessions for parents Online information and resources for parents and students, supporting mental health One trained youth mental health first aider for every 50 students in each trust school A series of sessions for students to help them cope more easily with the challenges of everyday

life, manage stress and build supportive relationships with their peers Newsletters for staff, students and parents

Occupational Heath The trust accesses Occupational health services via Hull City Council. Services include pre and mid employment screening and further information can be provided by HR.

DSE Eye Tests

Staff who work with display screen equipment (DSE) continuously and intensively for more than an hour on most days as a significant part of their normal day-to-day work can access pre-paid eye examination vouchers, which they can use at either Specsavers or Vision Express. To access a voucher, staff contact their HR team, who facilitate the process. If the optician recommends that spectacles are required solely for DSE use, the voucher also entitles the member of staff to a pair of basic frames and lenses. Staff can choose to upgrade at their own expense.

Environmental Sustainability Environmental sustainability is something which The Education Alliance is looking at as part of the Trust Development Plan.

We have established a working group which is made up of Charlene Hadfield (Head of Business and Operations), Paul Fortune, Assistant Principal and a number of Environmental Sustainability Champions from across our schools. This group looks at environmental sustainability across TEAL and how we can achieve our pledge, which is to:

Eliminate the use of single-use plastic Increase the quantity of material we recycle Reduce our carbon footprint

The group meet termly and look at these three areas to develop the sustainability plan. The group are looking at ways to use more sustainable products, ensuring that they are both environmentally friendly and that they have been sourced fairly, ethically and locally to avoid an excessively large and unnecessary carbon footprint

Following a survey across all employees, we provided 95% of the team with re-usable receptacles for hot drinks and water. We estimated that this means over 5,000 fewer single-use plastic water bottles will be consumed across TEAL each year.

Dri f f ield School & Sixth Form

Driffield School & Sixth Form is an 11-19 Comprehensive School which offers education for approximately 1,600 students living in Driffield and the Wolds.

Students at Driffield School & Sixth Form succeed and succeed well. We are rightly proud of our students and the excellent support and opportunities they receive from staff. We have high expectations of our students and we esteem the qualities of tolerance, courtesy and hard work in the daily life of our school. Driffield School was judged to be Good in all areas by Ofsted in January 2020 which is testament to the hard work and dedication of all the team at Driffield School.

Scott Ratheram

Executive Principal/ Headteacher sratheram@driffieldschool.org.uk 01377 253631

Scott is in his twelfth year as a Headteacher. During this time, he has led improvement across 3 different schools and has been visited by Ofsted fourteen times for subject inspections, section 8 monitoring visits and section 5 inspections.

During his NQT year, Scott was made Assistant Head of Year before becoming Head of Year shortly after that. Scott has also been Head of Chemistry, Head of Science and was latterly Assistant Headteacher at South Hunsley School and Sixth Form College before he took up his first headship.

Scott has developed a strong track record of improving schools that have been in challenging circumstances; most recently at Driffield School that moved from Special Measures to Good in January 2020. He enjoys working closely with all leaders and staff to build sustained capacity for improvement. Scott is keen to keep things simple: focussing on the one or two things at a time to get consistency; influencing change by winning hearts and minds so that colleagues share a common vision; and ensuring that the culture is supportive, with professional trust at the heart of his decision making. He has been instrumental in the development of the workload charter and a quality assurance framework built on professional trust. He is a great supporter of collaborative convergence as we seek to avoid the duplication of effort where possible.

Hunsley Pr imary

Hunsley Primary is the East Riding’s first and only free school. Opening in 2015, the school and its team has rapidly gained a reputation for high aspiration and excellence. Already oversubscribed, the school has been recognised by Ofsted for its exciting curriculum and learning ethos.

Inspected by Ofsted in 2018, the school was judged to be ‘Outstanding’ across the categories of Leadership & Management, Personal Development, Behaviour & Welfare, as well as being given the accolade of Outstanding Early Years Provision. The school team was thrilled also to be judged ‘Good’ for Teaching & Learning, Outcomes and Overall Effectiveness – an amazing achievement for a new school. The teaching team now looks forward to working collaboratively with other primary schools joining The Education Alliance trust, and to growing year on year.

Having worked in East Riding schools since 1997, Lucy has a wealth of experience in teaching across the age ranges and in school leadership. Lucy graduated with a BA in English from the University of Cambridge before taking up her PGCE at Durham University, training to become an English teacher.

Having such a range of educational leadership roles before becoming a Headteacher at Hunsley Primary in 2014 has proven to be an invaluable experience: from Assistant Headteacher and Specialist Leader of Education for Teaching and Learning, to Head of the Teaching School and Director of Sixth Form, Lucy has also worked alongside members of the Executive Leadership Team of the Trust to support 15 schools across Yorkshire and the North East in raising their standards of staff development, teaching and learning, and marking and feedback, as well as supporting Middle Leaders to drive forward constant improvements through research-based evidence. Lucy led Teaching and Learning and Staff Development in the run-up to and during the period in which South Hunsley achieved its Outstanding Ofsted judgement in 2013.

As Head of the East Riding’s first and only Free School, Hunsley Primary, Lucy feels very strongly that the children thrive most when their teaching staff have access to the best professional development and Lucy’s passion for developing great teachers continues as she sits on the Quality Assurance Committee for Yorkshire Wolds Teacher Training. Lucy also sits on the Steering Group of the Wolds Teaching School Alliance which she set up in 2015. Lucy was recently accredited as a designated Local Leader of Education through the Teaching School Alliance.
