A warm welcome to the Diocese of Chichester Academy Trust
Every child deserves the opportunity to flourish. Every child only gets one chance at their education. That’s why we exist.
At DCAT, we are a family of Church and community schools working together to help every child flourish and achieve their full potential. Our schools span five local authorities and three dioceses. Each is different. Each serves its own community. Each has its own story. We celebrate those differences because we believe every school should remain true to its identity.
What brings us together is a shared commitment to giving children the very best education and the strongest possible start in life. We believe schools are stronger when they work together. By sharing expertise, developing great leaders and learning from one another, we help every school become the very best version of itself.
Because children only get one chance at their education. Therefore, we are striving for excellence for every child, every day and in every school.
