SECAT is a medium to large size multi-academy Trust that has been in operation since 2016. Our schools all serve the local community of Shoeburyness which accommodates children and families with the lowest and the highest deprivation indicators. All schools are within 1.6 km of each other, and our large secondary school and 6th form, accommodates the large majority of our primary school leavers, as well as many others locally.
We pride ourselves on being inclusive and have worked hard to ensure we offer equality of provision for our diverse community. Each school is, rightly, very different – because they work with their local families and address the needs of those families and pupils in a unique way.
SECAT has come a long way since it first started. We are committed to reducing bureaucracy and ensuring that our professional Headteachers and school staff are enabled to concentrate on what they do and know best – education of children in its very widest sense. We have therefore, centralised our Finance, HR, ICT, Estates, Catering, Governance, and office structures.
Our Executive Team, includes the CEO, the Chief Operations Officer, the Director of Finance, Estates/ICT/HR/Governance Managers our Headteachers, and of course the Director of Education
The Trust Board is a group of professional, highly motivated and committed personnel with a variety of skills and wide experience. A strong Chair from the local community is very ably supported by experienced Committee Chairs and a Governance Manager. Each of our schools also has a local Academy Committee of Governors whose responsibilities include safeguarding, school improvement, monitoring the budget and holding the Headteacher to account.
