About Flightplan

Our Mission

Every education professional deserves a clear path to their next career destination.

Why Flightplan exists

Many education professionals don't know what career paths are available to them or what steps to take. Flightplan was created by Leigh Academies Trust to change that — giving every member of staff, from nursery assistants to senior leaders, a personalised roadmap showing exactly how to get from where they are to where they want to be.

What we do

Flightplan maps out 60+ career destinations across teaching, leadership, support, and specialist roles. Our journey planner creates personalised boarding passes that show the qualifications, experience, and skills you need. Flight Agents provide one-to-one guidance to help you navigate your journey.

Our values

  • Equity – Every role matters, every person can progress.
  • Clarity – No hidden pathways — everything is mapped and visible.
  • Support – You never travel alone — Flight Agents guide you.
  • Ambition – We believe in bold career moves and cross-family journeys.
