Our Principles for Staffing and HR

All Academies must follow the Trust centrally agreed approach to:

Maximum of 80% of GAG spent on staffing
Standardised job descriptions and person specifications
Recruitment, including advertising of posts and documentation, centrally managed
‘On boarding’ of new employees – induction to MAT
Directed time budget
HR file contents/checklists
Centrally managed transfer and secondment of staff.
Centrally approved decision to allow temporary allowance/honorarium
Centrally coordinated and funded CPD programmes e.g. Masters, Princes Teaching Institute, Ambition School Leadership etc.
Commitment to MAT workload strategy
Individual academies are expected to manage staff records, staff deployment and induction of new staff.
