Welcome

The Chingford Academies Trust (CAT) is a successful and established multi-academy trust based in Chingford, London. There are currently 2 schools in the CAT multi academy trust. 

The schools in the CAT are:  Chingford Foundation School and South Chingford Foundation School

Our vision is that of The Trustworthy Navigator for our schools  - as a guiding force, carefully plotting the path towards academic success for every student.

As The Trustworthy Navigator we provide each school and member of our community with a set of values that enables them to strive for excellence throughout their educational journey and beyond.

These values are:

Integrity

 We uphold unwavering integrity, guided by honesty and reliability, ensuring a culture of trust and excellence across all endeavours and interactions within the educational community.

Friendship

We foster a friendly ethos, warmly welcoming and supporting every individual. Through open communication and genuine enthusiasm, CAT cultivates a positive community where all can thrive.

Leadership

We demonstrate strong leadership, guided by integrity and a pupil-centric focus, ensuring educational innovation and excellence across our vibrant community of schools.

Enthusiasm

We radiate enthusiasm, deeply rooted in our belief in every individual’s potential for success. Our vibrant  approach fosters a culture of empowerment and achievement for all.

Respect

We embody respect, valuing each individual within our community and fostering an environment where everyone’s contributions and perspectives are honoured and appreciated.

Each of these six values underpin everything we do at Chingford Academies Trust, so our schools, students, staff and wider community can transform with the guidance of The Trustworthy Navigator.

Our Remarkable

Chingford Academies Trust (CAT) embodies the essence of a compass - dynamic, insightful, and confidently directed. Much like a compass, we pride ourselves on our heritage, values, and a commitment to nurturing achievement in all individuals. Our unique approach revolves around fostering a community of continuous success, irrespective of one’s starting point.

At the heart of our ethos lies a pupil-centred focus, where every student is empowered to aspire and excel. Just as a compass points towards true north with precision, we tailor our support to the individual, recognising their unique needs and interests while fostering a culture of inclusivity and aspiration.

CAT isn’t just a trust; it’s a vibrant hub woven into the fabric of its community. Like a compass, we are proud, respectful, and enthusiastic about the success of every member. Our commitment to excellence is unwavering, yet we understand the importance of adapting to the evolving landscape of education.

Collaboration is key to our success, just as it is for a network of compasses. With integrity, honesty, and reliability as our guiding principles, we lead with forward-thinking vision, ensuring that each school within our trust thrives as a beacon of educational innovation and excellence.

Chingford Academies Trust, where achievement knows no bounds, and together, we’ll unleash the potential within every learner, embodying the spirit of a compass - agile, resilient, and ever-ready to navigate opportunities for growth and success

We also believe it is important for schools in our trust to keep their individual identity and our schools operate with their own Head of School, leadership teams, staff and Local Governing Bodies; each with their own ethos that makes each school in our trust unique.
