Academies Enterprise Trust Professional Services Team AET academies are supported by the Professional Services Team, who work closely with the academies to deliver the AET vision to make our best better. The AET’s fundamental philosophy is to ‘build the capacity and pace of leaders at all levels of the academy to take responsibility for their own academy’s (phase or aspect) continuous and sustainable improvement. It is not the role of AET Professional Services officers to instruct academy-based staff, on the, what or the how of doing their jobs. It is the responsibility of AET Professional Services staff to challenge, support and monitor the progress and development of the services: Regional Managing Director engagement Leadership development CPD for the whole school workforce Ofsted guidance and support Maturity Matrices English and Literacy Mathematics and Numeracy Facilities (including Security, Health and Safety) Resident Ofsted Inspector Finance Human Resources (including recruitment and retention) Learning Technologies Data and Information ICT Infra-structure Community Sports Development PSHE Education and CEIAG support Community Learning Marketing and Public Relations Governor Training Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Partnerships including apprenticeship programmes Teaching School Network
