Working at The Consortium Academy Trust

The Consortium Academy Trust (TCAT), based in the East Riding of Yorkshire, was formed in September 2017 by the coming together of Cottingham Academy Trust, The Hessle Community Academy Trust and Wolfreton School and Sixth Form College to form a new Multi Academy Trust. These three schools have a successful history of partnership working, having operated Consortium Sixth Form arrangements for over 25 years. The Trust seeks to build on these relationships to create a regional structure that will see like-minded schools working together effectively within a partnership based on mutual trust and shared values.

The Trust has grown rapidly from the three founding schools and TCAT currently comprises of six secondary schools and three primary schools, as well an associate member, with a total of approximately 7700 learners and a significant staff team. Our academies include Croxby Primary, Cottingham High School and Sixth Form College, Hessle High School and Sixth Form College, Holderness Academy and Sixth Form College, Howden School, Keyingham Primary, Penshurst Primary, Winifred Holtby Academy and Wolfreton School and Sixth Form College.

Our vision is to be:

A Trust that promotes academic excellence, where exciting opportunities allow students to excel in all that they do, and leave prepared to achieve all their ambitions.

A Trust whose schools deliver the maximum potential for progress through inspirational teaching and learning, and outstanding school to school support.

A Trust with a leading community role, whose schools are the preferred choice for students, parents and staff.

Our core values underpin everything we do.

Aspiration.  We are ambitious and we aim high for ourselves and for others. We believe that we can make a real difference.

Respect.   We respect ourselves and we respect each other. We respect our diverse environment and the community.

Integrity.   We are honest with each other and ourselves. We do the right thing for the right reasons.

Responsibility.   We take responsibility for everything we do. We see mistakes as an opportunity to improve and get things right next time. We do this in an environment where we can take appropriate risk in the pursuit of success.
