What our people say

Working for the trust has helped my career go from strength to strength. I have been fortunate to work in two trust schools. Both environments have allowed me to grow as a leader and as a person. I have been challenged and supported to be the best version of myself everyday. It is a pleasure to work for such a caring and forward-thinking organisation. I’m excited by what the future holds.

Teaching is the best job in the world. Being able to change lives, leading future generations is a privilege and a role that I haven’t taken lightly. I have always enjoyed providing the children with the very best opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom. The sports fixtures, trips abroad, visits and wider curriculum have hopefully allowed the school community to see what life is like beyond the school gates. I have enjoyed watching the children develop and grow, consistently improving during their at school. In all honesty, coming to school every day hasn’t seemed like a job, it is a way of life.

I have returned back here at Holyrood, which is no surprise as it has always had a special place in my heart...it feels like coming home. I have been very fortunate to begin in a role that is new to the school and I have been given the autonomy to shape this role to how I see beneficial for the students in my care. My aspirations for the role have always been supported at line management and Senior Leader level and the input I have received around training and professional development has been significant. I feel proud to be here and to serve a community that is special to me. 

Being part of BEP has allowed me to work with lots of very talented professionals. I feel really privileged to be part of a trust which believes in every child and empowers staff to provide young people with the best possible opportunities. Professionally and on a personal level, I have been guided and supported to go from strength to strength and be the happiest I have ever been at work.

I absolutely love coming to Holyrood every day and feel very fortunate to be part of this amazing community.

Being in a Trust has given me so many opportunities to share resources, expertise and to attend languages workshops.

At the start of the last academic year, OFSTED paid us a visit and as we are part of the BEP, I was able to have the support of the MFL Lead across the Trust to support me whilst meeting the Inspector. It made the OFSTED experience not so frightening.

I feel supported by the Trust personally and so does my department.
