At the Good Shepherd Trust (GST), our approach is grounded in collaboration, community, and unwavering support. We believe that strong leadership flourishes when schools work together, sharing resources and expertise to overcome challenges and focus on what truly matters: delivering exceptional education.
Collaboration & Support
At GST, we connect headteachers and senior leaders across our schools to foster a dynamic network of shared ideas, resources, and solutions. This collaboration not only lightens the workload but also builds confidence and ensures that no leader faces challenges alone.
Nurturing Growth
We are committed to the personal and professional development of everyone in our schools. Through tailored induction programs, leadership development pathways, and Trust-wide opportunities, we create an environment where staff and students are empowered to grow and thrive.
Community Focus
Our schools are deeply embedded in their local communities, with support systems that reflect local needs and values. At the same time, they benefit from the Trust’s expertise in areas like safeguarding, compliance, and governance, allowing them to remain focused on their core mission: nurturing student success.
