Operations Excellence

Our core purpose is to ensure our operational behaviours, systems and processes create the best possible environment for our pupils, staff and wider community to thrive: 

1. We ensure that we have strong communication, data security and wider compliance reassurance through our Trust-wide systems and processes.  

2. Delivering a cost-effective and robust digital strategy and IT infrastructure that supports the curriculum offer and brings strong cyber-protection and efficiencies for all. 

3. The best use of funding and partnerships to ensure our estates support delivery of high quality education and keep our community of learners safe, warm and dry whilst supporting our commitment and journey to a sustainable future. 

4. A robust governance model and accountability framework to ensure strong challenge and support with accountability that keeps children and young people at the forefront of decision-making. 

Led by Jo Marsh, Director of Operations & Compliance, the team consists of  professionals and partners for Communications, Governance, IT, Estates, Safety, Data Protection, Procurement and Audit. Our Operations Excellence teams recognise that barriers and vulnerabilities are different for all schools and learners, but the solution can be found collectively. This work supports our culture of collective efficacy and helps everyone appreciate their responsibility to all our pupils.
