Our Vision and Values
The Harmony Trust has the highest aspirations for its pupils, parents and staff members. We work hard to ensure that every child achieves.

Our vision is to provide an excellent primary education that gives our children the very best chance of succeeding in life.

Parents are very important to achieving this vision and we aim to work in partnership with them to ensure that all our children Believe Achieve Succeed.

Our aim is to ensure that children at our academies enjoy the best education from the early years to the end of the primary stage.

We believe that school should be a place where every child achieves and makes progress in their learning.

We believe in the importance of children developing well-being and high self-esteem if they are to learn and do well.

We also believe in The Harmony Trust being an organisation where Learning Matters and where children become confident learners and staff are committed to learning and education.

We have a great team of people working in our Academies.

We aim to retain them by investing in professional development, offering opportunities to work across the Trust ensuring Harmony is a great place to work.

Development Opportunity

As a Trust we are fully committed to ensuring that every child has access to excellent educational provision and that all our academies are Great Places2Learn.

Our strategic plan is focused on ensuring academy improvement so that every child attends a good school.

The trust is focused on maximising its resources, Effective collaboration will enable the implementation of its series of frameworks and the high quality CPD offer that supports this.

The Board of Trustees wish to appoint experienced and successful teachers as Specialist Practitioners. Specialist Practitioners are class teachers primarily deployed to academies as class teachers.

They are expected to be flexible and responsive to academy and trust needs and be deployed to meet need when needed.

As a Specialist Practitioner the post holder will be expected to model excellence in teaching and learning.

They are also highly skilled in improving outcomes for the most vulnerable including those with Special Educational Needs or identified as disadvantaged.

Each post holder will also be an active member of The Harmony Trust Development Team.

This means the post holder could be required to support colleagues across all academies within the Trust:
this could be by delivering CPD or coaching and mentoring colleagues. It could also be leading a specific implementation project.

Work for the Development Team will mainly be through Microsoft Teams, however the postholder may also be required to travel to Oldham/Tameside/Derby on occasions.
