Join Team FCAT
Fylde Coast Academy Trust (FCAT) was established
in 2012. Our trust aims to ensure first class learning opportunities for all
young people across the Fylde Coast and across Lancashire. The trust has grown
to include 10 academies with primary, secondary and all through as well as the
Central Services and School Improvement team. Our values of excellence,
integrity and resilience guide us to be the best we can be.
Learners are at the heart of what we do and their outcomes and successes are
what drive us.
As a Multi-Academy Trust we work in partnership
with educational institutions locally to foster collaboration and knowledge
sharing, which is critical to our culture of continuous improvement. Full

About Armfield Academy
Armfield Academy is an all-through school for
children aged 3-16, we are an inclusive academy, which is committed to
providing the best possible education for all the children within our
care. We, at Armfield Academy, are
committed to achieving the very best educational outcomes for every one of our
learners. We do this by putting each
child’s diverse, social and learning needs with the appropriate level of
challenge and care at the heart of all aspects of our work. Our curriculum is ambitious and
uncompromising and provides a solid foundation upon which all our students can
thrive and succeed. “Leaders have created a clearly
designed curriculum, which builds from when children join in their Reception
Year through to the end of Year 11.” (Ofsted February 2023).
Our vision comes to life in our clearly
articulated values, which are pride in our Academy; ‘An Academy to be Proud
of’; respect for each other; integrity in all that we seek to achieve and the
wholehearted pursuit of excellence in both academic attainment and social
accomplishments, which are underpinned through promoting resilience in all our
learners in all phases. In working
towards making these values visible in every learner, we strive to provide a
safe, healthy, stimulating and exciting environment for all to work, learn and
play in, and in which access for all to a broad, balanced and relevant
curriculum is free and equal. “Leaders and trustees
have created a clear and ambitious vision for this school and its role in the
local community. Staff and pupils understand and support this vision.” (Ofsted
February 2023).
All pupils in all phases are encouraged to
develop lively and enquiring minds, to be capable of independent thought and to
appreciate those areas of knowledge and understanding, which will nurture
wisdom, enabling them to take responsibility for themselves and their actions,
and prepare them for future life, employment and happiness. Academic
excellence, respect and tolerance for others, resilience, self-discipline and
self-confidence form the basis of our school's phil
