2. Latest action plan (2026 to 2027)

ESTEEM MULTI-ACADEMY TRUST submitted the following supporting narrative with their action plan:

The gender pay gap at Esteem Multi-Academy Trust can be partly related to the higher take up of positions in our schools by female staff who seek part-time or flexible working, such as support staff roles. These are at lower salary points and are term time only, aligning to childcare responsibilities and/or personal circumstances of many. The workforce of Esteem Multi-Academy Trust is made up of predominantly support staff positions, along with teaching and central team functions. Salaries are paid in accordance with the nationally agreed terms and conditions of service for both teaching and support staff. This ensures that men and women, who undertake the same job, or similar jobs of equal value, are paid equally. This has improved on the previous year and Esteem Multi-Academy Trust continues to be committed to addressing the gender pay gap to ensure that it continues to reduced or is eliminated. At Esteem Multi-Academy Trust, we continue to promote progression into senior or leadership roles for female colleagues as well as progressing with the actions from our action plan to address this and support for menopause/ any time throughout a female or any staffs career with us.

Action plan

What is an action plan?

Employers with 250 or more employees can produce and publish a voluntary action plan alongside their gender pay gap data. Their plan shows the steps they are taking to address their gender pay gap and support employees experiencing menopause.

This will be mandatory from spring 2027, subject to legislation.

To create an action plan, employers review a list of evidence-informed actions recommended by the government. They can identify any that are already an established part of their working practice (‘embedded actions’), and choose at least 2 new actions to focus on (‘planned actions’).

You can see the full list of actions (opens in a new window) and guidance for employers on creating an action plan (opens in a new window).

ESTEEM MULTI-ACADEMY TRUST added the following ‘planned’ actions to their action plan for 2026 to 2027:

  • Reduce unconscious bias in CV screening
  • Offer mentoring, sponsorship and other development programmes
  • Enhance and promote flexible working and leave policies
  • Review policies and procedures to meet the needs of employees experiencing menopause
  • Offer workplace adjustments to employees experiencing menopause
  • Set up menopause support groups and networks

They indicated that the following ‘embedded’ actions are already an established part of their working practice:
