Chester Diocesan Academies Trust
About Chester Diocesan Academies Trust
CDAT was established by the Chester Diocesan Board of
Education in 2014. Since our inception, we have developed our vision to build
thriving learning communities that provide everyone with the opportunity to
achieve the very best with their gifts and abilities.
Children are at the heart of CDAT. We want each individual
to develop knowledge, skills, understanding and wisdom, underpinned by values
based on principles that are important to people of all faiths and no faith.
Jesus said, 'I have come in order that you might have
life, life in all its fullness.' (John 10:10)
CDAT wants every child to experience 'life in all its
fullness': to have outstanding learning opportunities; opportunities to act,
sing, dance, play sport and be artistic; opportunities to make lifelong
friendships, help those in need and become full and rounded individuals;
opportunities to develop and pursue ambitions. In short, we want the very best
for all of our children.
At CDAT, we believe that "life in all its
fullness" applies as much to our staff as it does to our pupils. As a
growing family of both church and community schools across the Diocese of
Chester, our mission is to provide an outstanding education rooted in a
supportive, inclusive, and nurturing Christian ethos.
