The Cam Academy Trust welcomes inquiries from schools and individuals who are interested in working with us. For further information please look at our Joining CAT,  Becoming a Teacher and Vacancies pages linked from the side of this page. Additionally, please do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail by clicking here.

The Trust is committed to remaining local with no desire to become a large chain operating over a wide area. The benefit of working as a strong group of schools is most obviously gained by working closely and effectively in a geographical area that allows staff and pupils to work with each other.
