Aletheia’s Staff Voice has proved invaluable in joint planning to exceed staff expectations and improve the quality of education in its schools.
At Aletheia Academies Trust, we believe that Staff Voice empowers employees, inspires innovation, and creates a positive, collaborative working environment for everyone. By building an enthusiastic and engaged workforce, we strengthen relationships and promote a culture of shared purpose across our family of academies.
How it works?
Each academy nominates 1-2 staff representatives to take part in Trust Staff Voice meetings, held every other term. These representatives come together to:
-
Discuss key initiatives and share best practice
-
Provide feedback on Trust-wide developments and policies
-
Explore ways to enhance wellbeing, communication, and collaboration
-
Ensure that staff perspectives help shape strategic decisions across the Trust
Through open dialogue and partnership, the Staff Voice ensures that every team member feels valued, heard, and part of our collective success.
Student Voice
At Aletheia Academies Trust, we recognise the power of pupil voice in shaping the direction of our academies. We firmly believe that our pupils are instrumental in driving positive change within our schools and wider communities.
Every other term, representatives from each academy’s Student Council meet to share ideas, discuss initiatives, and plan what they would like the Trust Student Voice to achieve. These meetings ensure that pupil perspectives are heard at Trust level and that their contributions actively influence our ongoing development.
We are proud to use the Smart School Councils model, which empowers every pupil to take part in discussions, decision-making, and action planning. This inclusive approach ensures that all voices, not just those on councils, are heard, valued, and can make a difference.
Student Voice achievements include:
-
Creating and reviewing anti-bullying policies across schools
-
Leading charitable projects and fundraising initiatives
-
Providing feedback on school developments and student wellbeing
-
Raising awareness of key issues affecting young people
-
Promoting leadership, collaboration, and active citizenship across our Trust
Together, we are building confident, compassionate young people who play a vital role in shaping the future of Aletheia Academies Trust.
