About HCAT

HCAT is a family of 16 schools in and around Kingston upon Hull, the East Riding of Yorkshire as well as North Yorkshire. 

All our Academies are within the boundaries of Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire and North Yorkshire.
We are a family of schools who collaborate and support each other and aim to be outstanding in the teaching, learning and aspiration of children in our schools.

Our children come from a wide variety of backgrounds and we strive to nurture all their talents and help them achieve a happy, rewarding and successful time in our schools.

HCAT schools are committed to identifying, nurturing and harnessing the talents of staff at all levels.

Restorative practice forms the foundation of our culture. Throughout the Trust our Staff and Children embrace this ethos and this has helped our children to thrive in a caring and inclusive environment.

Hull Collaborative Academy Trust was formed from four high performing schools in Hull whose head teachers shared the same vision and values to provide the best possible education for Children in Hull. It also intends to provide a local solution to sponsorship so schools in difficulty can access a local sponsor.

The Academy Trust also offers school to school support and high quality CPD (Continuing professional development) for schools. There is a high focus on developing quality teachers for the city and developing staff and leaders through the national ECT and leadership programs.
