City of London Academies Trust
About City of London Academies Trust
Established in 2016, City of London Academies Trust prides itself on its pursuit for educational excellence and believes strongly in the transformational nature of education, operating schools in areas of significant disadvantage. We understand that strong outcomes lead to improved life chances for our students, so we are unashamedly academic and unapologetically results driven. Each of our schools adopt a ‘warm/strict’ approach, combining high expectations with care and support. Our level of care means we never compromise on standards or expectations, ensuring that no student’s background becomes a reason for lowering the bar. Our schools maintain exemplary standards of behaviour, with systems, rituals and norms that instil strong habits. As a result, our schools provide an environment where our teachers can teach, and students can learn without disruption. We take great pride in fostering an exceptionally positive learning environment and we work meticulously to maintain our strong ethos and culture.
COLAT is driven by an unwavering ambition to be the best. We believe exceptional leaders and teachers create outstanding schools, transforming lives and shaping the future of every student. We combine the heritage and tradition of the Corporation of London with a genuinely innovative, enterprising, and entrepreneurial ethos. We are also committed to providing training and development to all our staff, plus excellent career advancement opportunities within our evolving Trust.
Our Trust comprises 11 schools across Hackney, Islington, Newham, Lambeth and Southwark supporting over 10,000 students. Our primary provision (three schools) is rated Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted, providing children with the best possible start to their education. Our standalone 16-19 Free School, Newham Collegiate Sixth Form Centre (NCS), is also rated Outstanding in all areas and stands out nationally in the top 1% of schools for student outcomes, with 95% of its students securing places at Russell Group and Ivy League universities each year. For our secondary provision that have Ofsted gradings, one is Outstanding in all areas, with the rest at least Good, and four with Outstanding features. Considering that 55% of students across the Trust are eligible for Pupil Premium, these are huge successes and are testament to the vision, hard work and commitment of staff across our schools.
This is an exciting time to be part of the City of London Academies Trust, and we very much hope that you will be inspired to want to join us. We are committed to investing in the next generation of COLAT people who will embody the Trust’s culture, values and ethos. We invite you to explore our website to find out more about the Trust, our academies and our people. Come and join our team to help continue to deliver exceptional outcomes.
