Our Services
All Northern Schools Trust academies enjoy high quality support in various educational and ‘back-office’ services. This means that support is highly responsive and tailored to the needs of individual academies. It allows the Trust to access the best value for money and more efficient ways of supporting academies to deliver these services to the standard they demand.
Principals and leaders have the capability to concentrate on the fundamental task of creating outstanding curriculum opportunities within secure, productive, and efficient learning environments. They steer their schools with a dedication to the vision and objectives outlined above.
A strong commitment to maximising funding for delivering educational opportunities for our pupils has led to the establishment of a compact central service team, which includes:
Financial Services
A small central team oversees financial processes, including curriculum-led financial planning, audit, best-value provision, and administration.
Human Resources
Committed to being the best employer possible, the HR team manages all aspects of staff support, including welfare, recruitment, retention, employee benefits, payroll, and HR policies. A broad range of employee benefits and favourable terms and conditions are tailored to attract and retain the highest quality workforce.
Central Site Services
This department manages all aspects of site maintenance, health and safety (including compliance), minibuses, and security.
ICT Services
Technical and infrastructure support is provided to ensure that staff and pupils have access to high-quality facilities that support teaching and learning.
Professional Governance Support
This division oversees statutory governance requirements and ensures that governors are well-informed, trained, and effective in providing the support and challenge necessary for school leaders to achieve ambitious outcomes for our young people.
Additionally, within individual schools in the trust, strategic appointments have been made to enhance the capacity for expert support across the trust in areas such as sound and visual technical support, marketing, admissions, assessment, school improvement, and examinations, as well as literacy enhancement.
