Testimonials

“The HR service I receive, in particular from HR advisers, is very approachable and clear. I find that they deal with simple matters quickly and responsively, and in situations where I need longer term support for more complicated matters, I find that the advice I receive helps me navigate and gives clarity on how I should progress.” – Sarah Godden, Headteacher

“It's really important to me that the HR service is delivered by people we know, and who know the school. When I contact HR I know I'll get good advice and that it will be given straight away, or by a prompt return of call. I've found the advice I have received from all members of the team to be informed and very helpful with what are often difficult issues. Having a named contact at HR is very helpful, but I've also been able to get to know the other members of the team, which is invaluable if my named HR adviser is unavailable when I call. I really value the ongoing relationship we have with the HR team” – Pete Johnstone, Headteacher
