From wellbeing support, to leadership training, we have you covered.

Our HR administration, payroll and pensions team offers creates contracts and delivers cost effective payroll and pension services.

How we help

Our solution-focussed employee relations advice helps Trust leaders manage case work securely and effectively, mitigating risk from tribunal claims.

Our Safer Staffing reviews give leaders peace of mind about the condition of their SCR and their staff files, ensuring compliance with KCSIE.  

Our mediation service enables leaders to resolve workplace conflicts early on and get staff working together again to focus on school improvement.

Our policy development offer takes the pain out of reviewing and drafting staffing policies.

Our investigation service provides quality impartial investigations for leaders, allowing Trusts to focus on teaching and learning.

Unlike some of our competitors, we have knowledge and expertise across an all-encompassing core offer that Trusts can access: HR Advisory and payroll, education improvement, SEND and inclusion, technology, property, finance, outdoor education and governance solutions. 

There's a real opportunity to help Trusts we work with by collaborating with other service areas.  We get to work together as a business to create better outcomes for our clients across all aspects of their Trust. 

As a partner, we’re socially responsible, dedicated to helping schools and MATs reach their NetZero, sustainability, diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) and levelling-up goals. 

Capita Entrust is unique as we not only provide services to schools from our own employed teams, but we also facilitate, broker and signpost support from schools, National Leaders in Education, Local Leaders in Education, National Leaders of Governance and HMI or Ofsted Inspector accredited specialists. This ensures the outstanding practice across the country is shared and impacts on pupil outcomes throughout our whole network.
