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
