Staff portal: New staff induction pack 2023-24
Welcome to The Mead Trust!
Welcome to The Mead Trust! We are really excited that you have decided to join our team.
We understand that starting a new role can be daunting, and want to help you settle into life at The Mead Trust as quickly as possible. This page is your Trust Induction Pack – everyone who joins us gets this information, regardless of their role, and it’s really important that you read it carefully. It is a collection of crucial policies, documents and training that everyone working in our schools needs to be aware of. You must read through this carefully, and when you have done so complete the form at the bottom of the page. It is really important that you do this before you start your new role.
Get in touch with us as soon as you can if you’re not sure about anything – there is no such thing as a stupid question! If you have any questions at all, about anything, please contact Kyra in the Trust Central Team by emailing kyra@themeadtrust.org.
