‘Teachers are fully committed to the school and its pupils. Leaders understand the workload that operating at this level places on staff. They are careful to seek ways that support staff in managing their workload. As a result, staff feel that leaders listen to them and that they are valued. Parents and carers told us how much they appreciate staff’s hard work to support their children.’ (Manor School Ofsted, January 2020)

Staff value the camaraderie and mutual support they share with their colleagues. They welcome the well-being initiatives leaders have introduced. They feel that their workload is reasonable. All staff benefit from a rigorous programme of induction and frequent professional development. They have many opportunities to work collaboratively and share best practice. (The Avenue School Ofsted, November 2023)
