Thank you for your interest in joining St. Chad’s Academies Trust, a community of dedicated professionals united by purpose, guided by values, and driven by a simple mission: “Children first; in the footsteps of St. Chad.”
Founded in 2013, our Trust provides a supportive home for schools moving to academy status or seeking sponsorship. Today, we are proud to serve a diverse range of communities across the region, each academy retaining its own unique identity while sharing our collective commitment to excellence, inclusion, and opportunity for every child.
At St. Chad’s, we place children firmly at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to nurturing both academic success and spiritual growth, enabling every child to flourish, to feel valued, and to realise their full potential.
Our core values, Service, Trust, Community, Harmony, Aspiration, and Dedication; are the foundation of our culture and shape every aspect of our work. They guide our decisions, our relationships, and our shared mission to deliver an education that transforms lives.
We are privileged to work in partnership with the Lichfield Diocese, a relationship that grounds our work in faith, compassion, and integrity. Together, we are building communities where pupils and colleagues alike feel supported, respected, and inspired to achieve their very best.
Collaboration is central to our success. Across our Trust, teams work together to share expertise, strengthen practice, and drive continuous improvement. We believe that by working collectively, rather than in isolation, we achieve more for the children and communities we serve.
Our reach extends beyond our own academy's. We actively engage with other Multi-Academy Trusts and professional networks, contributing to regional and national conversations about improving outcomes for children and young people.
While each of our academies has its own distinctive character and curriculum, our shared vision remains clear: to provide the highest quality education within a caring, inclusive, and faith-informed environment. We welcome colleagues, pupils and families from all backgrounds, fostering respect, resilience, and a deep sense of belonging.
At St. Chad’s, we believe that education is a powerful calling, one that offers the chance to make a lasting difference every single day. Whether you are an experienced leader, an aspiring teacher, or a valued member of our support team, you will find a culture of collaboration, trust, and opportunity here.
We invite you to explore our academies and discover what makes our Trust such a special place to work and grow. Join us, and become part of a community where together, we help every child , and every colleague, to thrive.
