‘Working Together for Excellence’

University of Chichester Academy Trust

Proud of be part of the University of Chichester Academy Trust

 

Weyford Nursery and Primary Academy is a proud member of the University of Chichester Academy Trust. As an academy, Weyford Nursery and Primary is a state-funded school working with other like-minded schools and the University of Chichester to provide an exceptional education experience for our pupils.  We remain guided by the national education framework but have greater freedom to make choices and share expertise and opportunities.  We support the Vision of the Trust 'for all young people to be inspired by an excellent education that raises their aspirations and enriches their lives' and its mission 'to create a vibrant inclusive and aspirational family of academies, transforming life changes for pupils through excellent teaching and learning'.

 

Our links to the University of Chichester

 

The University of Chichester Academy Trust is a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) and aims to develop a family of academies based on geographical groups in the region. Being part of the Trust provides Weyford Nursery and Primary with exciting opportunities to share expertise and resources with other academies as well as to access support from the University and from Trust professional staff.

 

Weyford Nursery and Primary benefits from a continuing programme of curriculum support and enhancement provided by the Trust and expert colleagues from the University of Chichester.  The University's Institute of Education has a distinguished history of teacher training that goes back over 150 years and is noted for its professional learning programmes for teachers and high-quality education research.  We provided teacher placements for trainee teachers and students enhance our curriculum offer through linked projects.
