Bakewell,
Derby Diocesan Academy TrustThe values and ethos that DDAT is built upon are
Christian in nature and represent values and principles that are important to
people of all faiths and no faith. There is a focus on individuality,
collaboration and unity; there is a real sense of belonging within DDAT. This is
well-balanced with a sense of autonomy and empowerment enabling schools to
flourish as separate and unique entities. Derby Diocesan Academy Trust (DDAT)
was formed in response to the national Academy and Free School Programme and
provides a Diocesan home to schools (Church or non-Church) either choosing or
requiring an academy solution. DDAT strives to help ensure the sustainability of
highly valued church schools, even in the unfortunate circumstances that a
school is required to move away from being maintained by the local authority in
order to secure rapid school improvement. DDAT is increasingly assisting
non-faith-based schools as they plan to sustain improvements by joining the
growing number of schools within the DDAT family. DDAT is proud to be a Diocesan
Trust. We work closely with the Diocesan Board of Education (DBE), having shared
values and a vision which is deeply Christian. Click here to visit the DBE
