Community Academies Trust (CAT) is a leading multi-academy trust currently comprising 17 schools - 14 primary and 3 secondary - dedicated to delivering exceptional community-based education.
As we continue to grow, with more schools expected to join, our mission remains clear: to provide outstanding education that preserves the unique identity and ethos of each local school while driving continuous improvement and raising educational standards.

At CAT, we believe in empowering our schools to be leaders in their communities, setting benchmarks for excellence that families can trust. Our approach ensures that every school under our umbrella not only meets but exceeds the expectations of its students, parents, and community members. We are deeply committed to fostering an environment where world-class achievement is the norm, and where schools are supported in their journey to become beacons of high-quality, locally respected education.

Our Trust is equipped to support both primary and secondary academies, from early years through to Key Stage 5. We offer comprehensive school improvement strategies, providing the necessary tools and expertise to help our schools thrive. By working closely with local leaders and stakeholders, we ensure that our academies not only uphold their local reputation but also respond effectively to the needs and aspirations of the communities they serve.

Through a combination of strong central support and local governance, CAT is dedicated to creating educational environments where students can achieve their full potential and where schools can excel in providing top-tier education across all levels.
