CDAT

We are proud and delighted to be part of the Chester Diocesan Academies Trust (CDAT), a family of schools united by a shared Christian vision and a commitment to helping every child flourish. Being part of CDAT gives us valuable opportunities to work alongside other schools, share ideas and learn from one another, bringing new experiences and approaches back to benefit our children.

For our children, being part of this wider family opens doors to new opportunities, experiences and friendships beyond our own school community. It allows us to broaden their horizons, celebrate their talents, learn alongside children from other schools and take part in shared activities that help build confidence, develop new skills and create lasting memories. These experiences help our children discover new interests, appreciate different perspectives and understand that they are part of something bigger than their own school.

We value the professional development and support available to our staff, helping them to grow in confidence, develop their skills and provide the very best learning experiences for every child. We also benefit from being part of a wider network of expertise, advice and guidance that supports school improvement, strong leadership and the wellbeing and safety of our children.

Most importantly, CDAT shares our belief that every child is unique, precious and full of potential. While we are proud of what makes Dodleston special, being part of this wider family strengthens our sense of belonging and reminds us that we are never alone in our work. Together, rooted in Christian faith and guided by love, hope and compassion, we strive to provide an excellent education where every child feels valued, discovers their God-given gifts and is encouraged to flourish in all aspects of life.
