From the The Telford Langley School
We are a multi-academy trust with 17 schools, including 12 primary and 5 secondary ones. This year, additional schools are expected to join the Trust. The acronym CAT, or Community Academies Trust, refers to our organization's primary goal of providing great community education. We are committed to preserving local school identity and ethos, and adopt strategies for school improvement that build on and enhance local reputation, raise standards and respond to the needs and aspirations of those we serve. We work with primary and secondary academies where world-class achievement is the expectation our community academies are driven by a desire to lead rather than follow, to be beacons of outstanding local provision which local families believe in and can rely on for excellence for their children's education. We are prepared to collaborate with schools and children from reception through KS5, and we sponsor both secondary and primary providers as a community academies sponsor.
