About Us

New College Durham Academies Trust (NCDAT) is an ambitious Multi Academy Trust based in North Durham. We have ambitions to grown but wish to remain a Durham MAT for local schools. The trust currently has 3 large secondary schools; Consett Academy and North Durham Academy and Wellfield School.

Our schools are at the heart of their local communities and strive to deliver on our founding principles of Inclusion, Progression and Excellence which supports a central vision of ‘Students First’.

The principle of inclusion provides opportunities for students of all abilities, aspirations and backgrounds and involving staff, governors, students and the wider community in determining the direction of our Trust. Our curriculums are broad and challenging, with the academic success of students at the heart of what we do.

To encourage progression, our schools provides effective advice and guidance. This enables learners to make informed and appropriate decisions for future study and employment, encouraging them to take on new challenges and reach higher levels of achievement.

The focus on excellence underpins all we do whether in learning areas, working in the community or governing and leading our schools.

The Trust recognises that safeguarding our children and young people is core to all our activities, and we expect all staff, volunteers and wider stakeholders to share this commitment.

Our Aims are:

· To ensure our schools are centres of excellence with a focus on the nurture and achievement of all their members;

· To promote mutual support, encouragement and benefit between our academies;

· To develop, as the core foundation of academic achievement, a strong culture of professional development amongst our staff;

· To celebrate and maintain the unique identity of communities we serve with each school at the heart of its community;

· To recognise and enable all those who often remain invisible, through ethnic or cultural disadvantage, or through disability or poverty to achieve their full potential.

Welcome

First and foremost, this is a rare opportunity to make a tangible impact on the future life chances of our students, irrespective of background or starting point.

As the Headteacher of Consett Academy it fills me with immense pride to be able to work with the children of the area but also the parents/carers. I have been in post at Consett for over 18 months now and it is a brilliant place to work each day because of our fantastic team of staff and our amazing students. I’d love for you to join us and be part of something you’ll never forget.

At Consett we:

· have very high expectations;

· challenge students to achieve their best;

· ensure progress for all and our students leave the academy with fantastic results;

· have a dedicated and positive staff team;

· believe in inclusivity and that every student, no matter their background, deserves the best possible education.

Consett Academy is a ‘Good’ school following our recent OFSTED inspection and I am determined to improve standards even further. I would love you to be part of our journey towards becoming ‘Outstanding’. I would encourage positive, hardworking, and committed candidates who have a real passion for improving the lives of young people to apply. If you believe you have what it takes to help Consett Academy reach its enormous potential, please get in touch.

I would encourage you to visit our fantastic campus to see for yourself the superb learning and working environment that we have. If you would like to arrange a visit, please email our HR Team at recruitment@ncdat.org.uk whereupon a mutually convenient date and time will be arranged.

Yours faithfully

Mr T Urwin

Headteacher

Ofsted

I am delighted to be able to share with you our Ofsted report with confirmation that Consett Academy is once again a “Good” school following our recent inspection. As you all know, when I arrived at Consett Academy 18 months ago, I was determined that the students would get a better deal and the fact we are now “Good” in all areas fills me with great pride.

It has been a real journey moving from “Requires Improvement” and I want to take this opportunity to thank all the parents/carers for their support with the changes I have made and without this, would not have been possible. I also wanted to give a special mention to the staff at Consett Academy who give so much to our students each and every day.

Finally, I want to say how proud I am of our students who have made such an impression on me but who also impressed Ofsted with their attitudes, honesty and talent. It is an honour to be Principal at Consett Academy and I look forward to driving standards and improvements further.
