Mead Primary been shortlisted for the Employer of the Year award. Headteacher Linda Smith explained why Mead Primary is a compelling candidate for this award.
"We’ve been relentless in examining every system and process so expectations on staff are manageable - particularly in our challenging context."
Marking procedures have been reduced, eliminating unnecessary workload and making feedback more effective. Fitness classes are provided for staff to help their physical and mental wellbeing, and Governors have bought in a sabbatical policy that rewards long service.
Tes editor Ann Mroz said: It is wonderful to see such innovative ideas and best-practice emerging from schools like Mead, despite the current squeeze on funding. We had a record year for entries and the standard was the best so far – all those shortlisted should be very proud: it’s an extraordinary achievement.
The winners will be revealed at the TES gala awards evening, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London on Friday 22 June 2018
