Shropshire Church of England Academies Trust

Shropshire Church of England Academies Trust (SCEAT) is a joint partnership between Hereford Diocese and Lichfield Diocese. Incorporated in July 2024, with the founding group of eight primary schools joining in the Spring term 2025, the Trust’s vision is to provide high quality, fully inclusive learning opportunities to children across the early years and primary age ranges.
At the heart of our school improvement strategy is a commitment to achieving a school-led system in order to promote and secure outstanding levels of achievement for all children. The Trust has created three geographical hubs of schools across Shropshire which are built upon a successful model of collaborative working and affords schools an opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of working closely with colleagues in other neighbouring schools who are part of the Trust. While each of the schools in the Trust is unique, and retains its own identity within its community, we understand that the mutual challenge, support and partnership that we offer each other as a Trust working together, will enable our schools to flourish.
Sharing our Christian values, being warm and welcoming to all, knowing our children and their families well and a strong emphasis on meeting the pastoral needs of pupils are at the heart of our Trust’s ethos.
Subject to Trust due diligence, SCEAT is open to all Church of England primary schools, community schools, or single academy trusts across Hereford Diocese or Lichfield Diocese who are within the Shropshire geographical area.
