Welcome to The Spring Partnership Trust

At The Spring Partnership Trust, we are dedicated to recruiting top-tier staff who share our commitment to excellence. Exceptional learning and teaching are at the core of our mission, and we continually innovate and refine to ensure the best outcomes for our pupils.

Our outstanding teachers, support staff, and leaders come from diverse backgrounds, but they are all united by a shared commitment to delivering an exceptional education within a nurturing and inspiring school environment. Together, they foster a strong sense of belonging and unity, ensuring that every child has access to excellent and equitable educational opportunities. As one cohesive team, we are dedicated to enhancing outcomes for all our pupils.

Every day, you’ll have the chance to shape and ignite young minds, playing a vital role in helping our pupils reach their full potential. The joy of seeing their growth and success is truly fulfilling. In our dynamic and diverse community, your work will be engaging, impactful, and will allow you to make a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of our students.

Professional Growth Opportunities

The Spring Partnership Trust is dedicated to the ongoing development of our exceptional staff, recognising that this directly enhances the educational experience for all our children. We value our team members and believe they deserve opportunities to grow and excel throughout their careers. This commitment is embodied in our comprehensive Continuous Professional Development (CPD) program, which offers a variety of enriching opportunities:

• Regular Coaching: Engage in supportive professional development conversations with your line manager, focusing on your skills development, well-being and career goals.

• Diverse Learning Opportunities: Access a range of formal and informal learning options, including leadership programmes, workshops, conferences, mentoring, and online courses, all tailored to meet the needs of both teaching and support staff.

• Collaborative Network: Connect with colleagues across the Trust who hold similar roles, providing opportunities to share best practices and learn from one another.

• Peer Observation: Observing and being observed by colleagues is central to our goal of building a professional learning community. We leverage the highest quality research and collective expertise to drive continuous school improvement.

• Broadened Horizons: Expand your experience by shadowing colleagues or working in different schools within the Trust family.

The Power of Collaboration 

At The Spring Partnership Trust , collaboration is at the heart of everything we do and stands as one of our greatest strengths and core values. Our team members and external parties often highlight the supportive environment and strong sense of teamwork that define our schools. Starting a new role or job can sometimes feel isolating, but our colleagues at TSPT often share that they never experience that loneliness here. Whether you’re a support staff member, an Early Career Teacher (ECT), a qualified teacher, or a school leader, you’ll be surrounded by dedicated and passionate colleagues committed to your success. This collaborative spirit doesn’t stop at the school level—it extends across the entire Trust, providing continuous support and countless opportunities for growth and development.

Good Things Come in Small Packages!

We may be modest in size, but, at our Trust we are driven by a vast ambition and a spirit of innovation. Our compact yet dynamic environment allows us to offer personalised attention and foster close-knit teamwork. This dedication to excellence and progress is reflected in our commitment to every staff member. If you're looking for a setting where your contributions are valued, where you can collaborate closely with passionate colleagues, and where you have ample opportunities to develop and make a meaningful impact, you’ll find that our Trust is the ideal place for you. Here, small-scale agility meets big-scale vision, creating a unique space where growth and success are within reach for everyone.

Trust Values - Principles We Live By

Ambition, Collaboration, Fairness, and Respect are the cornerstones of our TSPT family. As a member of our team, you'll experience a positive and supportive environment where you are never alone. Our staff work together across schools in critical areas such as safeguarding, SEND, assessment, and teaching, constantly seeking innovative approaches to enhance our practices. Our collaborative approach allows us to handle the workload both efficiently and effectively. With accessible leadership, open communication, and a strong culture of feedback, you’ll always have the support you need to excel and achieve your goals.

Well-Being Genuinely Matters

At our Trust, we are deeply committed to fostering a culture of sustainable well-being. This commitment ensures that our staff not only thrive but also remain engaged and productive, providing their best for our pupils. We believe that well-being goes beyond occasional perks like staffroom donuts; it requires a strategic, long-term approach. That’s why each school has designated Well-being Champions who collaborate regularly with our HR Lead to advance our well-being initiatives.

Recognising that staff well-being is essential to our success, we offer a range of non-contractual benefits. Our 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme provides confidential, independent counselling for staff and their families, ensuring support is always available. Our Well-being Strategy focuses on transforming workplace practices and culture to enhance staff well-being and make our Trust an outstanding place to work.

Additionally, our Occupational Health service provides confidential advice on personal health, safety, and welfare. Through regular staff surveys and informal interactions, our school leaders gain valuable insights into their teams, understanding their motivations and ensuring that every employee feels valued and supported.

Financial Benefits

We ensure that our pay and conditions at least match national standards within the education sector. Our sick pay, maternity, and paternity leave policies meet or surpass these national benchmarks. All staff are automatically enroled in either the Local Government Pension Scheme or the Teachers' Pension Scheme, both of which feature a generous employer contribution. If these schemes do not suit your needs, you have the option to opt out at any time.

Flexible Arrangements

The Trust provides flexible working options to help staff achieve a better work-life balance. This includes opportunities for part-time hours, term-time-only positions, and job shares. We also offer generous policies and entitlements for Maternity, Paternity, and Adoption leave.
