“Staff morale and team spirit is high. Leaders have reduced how much planning and assessment teachers do. This helps teachers’ work-life balance. Staff feel that their workload is manageable.”

“Leaders and staff work closely with other schools in the academy trust. Joint residential visits are planned for pupils so that they make even more friends. The working relationship between the schools is very strong”

What Our Staff Say

“My career began at Palmers Cross as a class teacher, quickly progressing to become Maths leader. The support provided, by leaders, enabled me to flourish in this role and to have the confidence to take on the role of an Assistant Head teacher. Leaders across the Trust have never failed to motivate and inspire me, which has led me on this fantastic journey within my career. Without their guidance and belief, I would not have developed into the leader I am today.”

Middle Leader

“'Since beginning my career at the Elston Hall, I have felt supported and inspired. I began my career as a Teaching Assistant, working with a variety of professionals, which enabled me to learn and encouraged me to want to complete my teaching studies. Then with the encouragement and support from staff and leadership from the trust, I had the amazing opportunity to study through an ITT programme with the result of a Qualified Teacher. I cannot wait to see what future years bring me at the Trust”

TA / Teacher

I have had a great opportunity to train with Elston Hall Learning Trust over the last three years. With their unwavering support, I successfully completed my PGTA and have now finished my two-year ECT qualification. Throughout this journey, I have received exceptional help and support from mentors across the trust, which has been instrumental in my professional development.
