Testimonials

“Working with Cheshire Academies Trust has offered numerous benefits for our teachers and leaders at Bexton. The collaboration opportunities across our schools have provided valuable support and opportunities to share best practice which, in turn, has improved learning outcomes for our children. But most importantly, we are working with a fantastic group of people who are passionate about doing the right thing for children, making sure everyone achieves their full potential in their own unique way.”

Emily Armstrong- Headteacher at Bexton Primary School

“Being part of CAT is such an exciting opportunity for our school. It is refreshing to join a trust which values uniqueness, cares deeply about its staff and promotes collaboration. There is no doubt joining CAT will strengthen and enhance our whole school community.”

Jennie McAleny- Headteacher at Gayton Primary School

“Being a new headteacher, I have found numerous benefits to working within Cheshire Academies Trust. I am able to tap into a wealth of expertise, resources and support from other school leaders and professionals, which has helped to improve teaching and learning outcomes within my school as well as develop and refined my own leadership practice. Additionally, the sense of community and shared vision amongst those within the trust creates a positive and empowering environment in which to work for both staff and pupils, which I believe is essential for fostering a culture of continuous improvement and growth. I enjoy working within our trust because it allows me to collaborate with like-minded professionals who are dedicated to providing the best education and opportunities for the children under our care.”

Alison Hulley- Gayton Primary School

“Working in the CAT trust family of schools brings a multitude of benefits to staff, the school community and pupils. Through rich, research informed collaborations between our schools, we seek to continually enhance and develop our own unique settings. The support of the central trust team, CFOO and CEO enable and support me to work on vital and important elements of school improvement. There is a strong sense of togetherness and trust with autonomy as a core value; understanding that each trust school is different and special. Staff are valued and their continuing professional development has a direct impact on the achievement and success of our pupils.”
