Thank you for showing an interest in working for DDAT.
Joining DDAT as a Senior Finance Officer.
Our trust was established in 2014 for schools choosing to become an academy as well as for those who found themselves in need of a sponsor.
DDAT’s vision is to build a better future for all across our academies who in turn will positively impact their communities.
The DDAT family of schools consists of both Church and non-Church schools who all work together to achieve the aims of the Trust as follows:
• Provide children with excellent educational provision
•Rapidly improve underperforming schools
•Develop effective school-to-school support
•Build strong relationships and promote work with external partners
•Raise aspirations and tackle disadvantage so that no pupil is failed by their school.
DDAT academies demonstrate their distinctiveness by providing an inspirational and holistic education that enables all children and staff to develop and achieve their full potential. Church schools within DDAT are not faith schools for the faithful, but Church schools for the community.
We want our children and young people to be able to ‘experience life in all its fullness’ and although this phrase is rooted in a Christian narrative (taken from John 10:10), irrespective of a faith perspective, that is what all of us want for our pupils. This has been borne out by the number of community schools that have chosen to join DDAT, signing up to the vision and values that have children at their core.
