Why Join Us?
Achieve More. Challenge Thinking. Shape Futures.
At the University of Chichester Academy Trust, we believe education should do more than deliver outcomes. It should create opportunity, develop confidence, strengthen communities and open doors for the future.
We are a connected educational community, working across primary, secondary, special and teacher development provision to improve outcomes and enhance life chances for children, young people and the adults who support them.
Schools and leaders choose to work with UniCAT because we are ambitious, collaborative and outward-facing. We value strong local identities whilst recognising the importance of partnership, professional growth and shared expertise.
Our work is shaped by three strategic priorities:
We are
Research Informed for Impact
We are
Global Thinkers
We are
Partners for Trust Ambition
We believe educational decisions should be shaped by evidence, reflection and professional expertise, creating meaningful and sustainable improvement for young people and staff.
We want children and young people to understand their place in the world, think beyond perceived barriers and feel ambitious about their future.
We work collaboratively within and beyond our trust because we believe strong partnerships strengthen education, develop people and create wider opportunities for the communities we serve.

Whether you are:
- a maintained school exploring academisation,
- a single academy trust considering partnership,
- a leader seeking collaboration,
- or a professional looking to grow your career,
...we invite you to learn more about working with us.
We are ambitious for our young people, our staff and our communities. We know education changes lives, but we also know that no academy achieves excellence in isolation.
At UniCAT, we work together to create environments where people feel supported, challenged and inspired to grow.
If that resonates with you, we would love to start a conversation.
