At Cornerstone Academy Trust, we are committed to creating an inspiring and rewarding environment where staff feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed. Our culture is built on collaboration, innovation, and a shared dedication to delivering exceptional education. Whether you’re an experienced professional or just starting your career, you’ll be part of a passionate team that encourages creativity, nurtures talent, and celebrates achievements. We believe that when our staff thrive, our pupils do too.
As a forward-thinking Trust, we embrace new ideas and technologies to continually enhance teaching and learning. We are proud to foster an inclusive and welcoming workplace where everyone’s contribution is respected.
By joining us, you’ll not only be helping to shape the future of education—you’ll be supported in shaping your own future as well.
We rely on dedicated and talented individuals to maintain our high standards of excellence, and we’re committed to recognising and rewarding their contributions. To support our staff and promote a positive work-life balance, we offer a comprehensive range of progressive benefits, including:
Staff Development Days – Held throughout the year, these days offer a diverse programme of sessions—from paddleboarding to safeguarding training—designed to promote both professional growth and personal wellbeing for all staff.
Peer Mentoring – A dedicated team of experienced and skilled colleagues are available across the Trust to uphold excellence in teaching practices, offering mentoring for new staff in particular.
Wellbeing
Onsite Café Our onsite Café offers a welcoming space for staff to unwind with a coffee or enjoy a meal. A variety of affordable eat-in food is available throughout the day.
School Dogs We’re pleased to have therapy dogs across some of our schools. The children love spending time with the dogs which can provide a calming influence for children that may benefit from their presence.
Safeguarding
We are dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of children and we expect all staff to uphold this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
