University of Chichester Academy Trust

Who we are

The Vision of the University of Chichester Academy Trust  is for all young people to be inspired by an excellent education that raises their aspirations and enriches their lives.

Our Mission is to create a vibrant inclusive and aspirational family of academies, transforming life chances for pupils through excellent teaching and learning.

Our strategic intention is to build a Multi-Academy Trust of approximately thirty academies.  These academies will all be good and outstanding and on a journey to excellence. They will be vital in their local community, meeting the challenges of their particular context and ensuring that all their pupils make better than expected levels of progress as a result of consistently excellent teaching. They will be supported by both the academic and professional services of the University and will be working tirelessly to raise aspirations of all children.

Our values underpin this activity

• Education is a key way to break deprivation – disadvantage cycles in a sustainable way.
• Excellent schools are vital locally and meet the needs of the children they serve in their community.
• Education is a people business and requires honesty, integrity, team work and the highest expectations of all.
• Monitoring, evaluation and decision making needs to be informed by accurate information from a breadth of sources.
