At
Kingsdown, we know that staff and students thrive in a ‘healthy work culture’
and the wellbeing of staff and student outcomes is inextricably linked.
We are committed to providing the best working and learning environment for
all. The RLT has a staff charter and strong values, we uphold these
values and commitments, and further build on these with our Wellbeing
Strategy.
One of the core
values of the RLT is that ‘everyone is learning’ and at Kingsdown we ensure
each person has the personalised CPLD that they deserve. We do this through a
variety of programmes, including our Restless Teacher Programme that allows all
staff to take a lead on their own professional development, with the support of
colleagues within the school. We are also very excited to be launching our
coaching model this year, to allow staff the opportunity to be coached and
develop their teaching practice further, whatever stage of their career they
are in. High quality CPLD and training are
an integral part of our meeting schedule and time is given to curriculum teams
to collaborate and learn from each other.
Alongside this we have a personalised induction programme that allows
for new staff members to join us feeling supported and welcomed from day
one. All ECTs have time with their
mentors each week and with our team of Professional tutors.
Education
has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT
we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and
communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by
a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to
shared principles.
OUR VISION
is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably:
to be better faster together.
OUR ‘WHY?’
is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as
part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.
OUR ‘HOW?’
is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other,
underpinned by our principles.
Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including
extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities,
wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS
