We’re proud to be part of Pontefract Academies Trust, which was recognised with the Trust Value Award for Excellence in the 2025 Edurio Awards – placing us among the top 10 performing trusts nationally, based on staff feedback.
Edurio is a national education survey platform used by over 1,300 schools across the UK. They help organisations to gather honest, anonymous feedback, providing insights into everything from culture and wellbeing to leadership and pupil behaviour.
Pontefract Academies Trust achieved fantastic results in the survey, with 85% of staff across the Trust saying they would recommend it as a good place to work. These results were mirrored at a school level, with staff sharing that they feel valued and proud to work at Larks Hill Junior and Infant School.
Staff Choice Award – Larks Hill
We are proud to have received the regional Staff Choice Award:
- 100% of staff would recommend Larks Hill as a good place to work.
- 100% of staff would recommend Larks Hill as a good place for their children to study.
This is amazing and very encouraging feedback from our staff. We’re proud of our continued commitment to the wellbeing and success of both pupils and staff.
What This Means for Us
These awards celebrate out commitment to creating a positive, values-led culture for our staff, pupils, and wider community. They reaffirm that our values aren’t just words, they are principles that guide us in everything we do. Of course, there is always more work to do, but overall we are pleased with the progress the Trust has made.
