About the Trust
CDAT is a multi-academy trust currently made up of 17 very diverse primary schools from across the whole of the Diocese of Chester.
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.
Our Director of Finance will join us at a very exciting point in the Trust’s growth. We are due to expand to 20 schools over the next 12 months and are developing our cluster model and central services to cater for that growth.
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 sports 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.
