What the school offers its staff
At Crossdale Primary School, we pride ourselves on our positive ethos and enjoy fantastic backing from our school community. We can offer high levels of support and the opportunity to work within a skilled, motivated and friendly staff team. Further professional development opportunities and support are available through our close collaboration with Keyworth Primary School and the wider Equals Trust.
Staff wellbeing is of paramount importance to us, and we recognise that all team members are people first, with lives and responsibilities beyond school. We work hard to support staff in maintaining a healthy balance, while holding high expectations for the quality of education we provide.
About Equals Trust
Equals Trust brings schools together so that staff are better supported and schools are stronger as a result. Formed by local headteachers, the Trust allows each school to keep its own character, leadership and way of working, while benefiting from shared expertise, practical support and additional capacity when it is needed.
For teaching assistants, being part of the Trust means you are supported to develop in your role over time. Working with children is complex and skilled work. Across Equals Trust, professional development is seen as a core entitlement for all staff, not just teachers. You will have access to training, guidance and coaching that helps you build confidence, deepen your understanding of pupils’ needs and strengthen your day-to-day practice in the classroom.
Development opportunities are designed to be practical and manageable. You will have opportunities to learn alongside colleagues, reflect on your work and draw on expertise from across the Trust. This might include working with staff in other schools, accessing shared training, or being part of wider professional networks. This approach helps reduce isolation, builds confidence and supports consistent, thoughtful practice for all pupils.
Collaboration between schools also supports strong leadership and clear decision-making. Leaders and governors work together to ensure that school improvement is realistic, sustainable and focused on what matters most: supporting pupils effectively and creating positive, well-run classrooms where staff can do their best work.
Equals Trust schools are rooted in their communities, with the strength and expertise of the wider network behind them.
