HR and Payroll Services
Our in-house HR and Payroll Team works closely with NEO People to provide a modern, efficient and responsive service for staff across the Trust.
Through NEO, colleagues have secure access to their employment information and can manage key aspects of their personal data through a self-service platform. This not only improves the staff experience but also streamlines administrative processes, ensuring schools receive timely and professional HR and payroll support.
Compliance Management
Maintaining safe, compliant and well-managed schools is a key priority for Thrive. Working alongside iAM Compliant, and overseen by our Trust Business Team, we have established robust systems to monitor and manage statutory compliance requirements across all our schools.
This approach provides assurance that compliance responsibilities are being tracked effectively, helping to maintain the highest standards of safety for pupils, staff and visitors. It also significantly reduces the administrative burden on school leaders and local teams, allowing them to focus their time and energy on delivering exceptional educational outcomes.
Policy Oversight and Alignement
The Thrive CE Academy Trust recognises the time spent by schools when forming, updating and approving statutory policies. We are anxious to reduce this burden on school leaders and governors and produce a suite of central compliance and 'good practice' policies which schools can have access. Not only does this save time, but ensures that our school policies are kept upto date and compliant.
Safeguarding
KD Safeguarding provides a wide range of safeguarding training and consultancy services to our Trust schools.
KD provide annual safeguarding health checks on all Trust schools, providing invaluable follow-up support and providing advice to school leaders and administrators. They also support our schools to manage attendance issues and establish strategies to improve attendance across our Trust schools. https://www.kdsafeguarding.co.uk/

North Yorkshire Education Trips and Visits
Thrive CE Trust utilises the Evolve educational trips and visits software to plan and risk assess all school trips and activities. The Trust Board have commissioned the ‘North Yorkshire Educational Trips and Visits Coordinator’ to oversee the planning and approval of all residential and higher risk trips. Their advice and guidance is invaluable for teachers and school leaders and ensures that learning outside of the classroom can take place safely. https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/education-and-learning/information-about-schools/school-trips-visits-and-activities
