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.
At North Durham Academy, we are openly focused on the educational outcomes of our students and firmly believe that placing the student at the centre of everything we do will ensure that they leave with both the best possible grades and having had the best possible experiences throughout their time with us.
In order to realise this, we work with our vision in mind at all times:
“For all students and staff to want to learn and work at a good school; and for all parents/carers from our community to want to send their children to a good school.”
There are a number of key principles that underpin the vision, which are:
- Outstanding care for each and every individual
- A relentless drive and focus to ensure that each and every student achieves their true potential
- A focus on the quality of education and on high standards
- A broad and balanced curriculum
- A range of in-school and extra-curricular experiences to prepare our students for life in modern society
- Superb facilities which support and enhance learning at all levels including achievement and engagement

We have made improvements in every part of the school and we will continue to go from strength to strength, I am truly proud to be associated with our school and its community.
