Northern Education Trust Induction Portal

Welcome from the Chief Executive

On behalf of the Northern Education Trust Board, welcome to Northern Education Trust.

We are unswerving in our commitment to ensure that the outcomes our young people secure prepare them fully for life beyond school. Our academies are happy and thriving communities where children both achieve and feel safe and cared for.

As an inclusive Trust we strive to help young people overcome any barrier to learning. We are a caring employer and invest heavily in professional development, allowing our staff opportunities to take the next steps in their career.

It is essential that all new staff have the chance to read and understand some of the key policies in place across the Trust and this portal will provide you with the main policies that need to be read and understood before your first day in your respective academy or central team function. If there are any parts of the policies you would like further clarity or information on, please use the form contained on the final page of this portal to ask any questions.

How to use the induction portal

Please click play on the video to the left to watch a guide to using this portal, which is designed for all new employees of Northern Education Trust, regardless of their role, and for all long term agency staff who work in our academies.

The induction portal is split into 13 key areas which are listed below. In each area you will find a selection of video clips and policy documents.

The video clip provides a short introduction to the policy from the member of staff responsible for that area. The full policy document is also provided for you to read through at your leisure.

On some pages you will find additional policies or guidance which are optional to read. Optional documents will always be clearly labeled.

Once you have read the policies, please use the completion survey on the last page of this portal to confirm you have read and understood each of the policies. You can also use this survey to ask any questions you may have.
