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.
Why Join the CDAT Family?
We recognise that our greatest asset is our people. When you
join a CDAT school, you are not just joining an individual academy; you are
becoming part of a collaborative network of professionals dedicated to
excellence. Our commitment to your professional journey includes:
- Tailored

programme that evolves to meet the needs of our staff. From National
Professional Qualifications (NPQs) to bespoke training in Early Years and
SEND, we invest in your growth at every career stage.
- A
Culture of Collaboration: We actively encourage our schools to
work together. Through our clusters and Trust-wide networks, staff
regularly share best practices, resources, and innovative ideas to drive
school improvement together.
- Career

for career development. We champion internal talent and provide
opportunities for staff to gain experience across different school
settings within the Trust.
- Supportive

creating a working environment where staff feel valued, heard, and
empowered to make a real difference.
