Why CAT?

The difference that a dedicated teacher can make in a child’s life cannot be overstated. At CAT, you are the one who will set pupils on the path to success, and who will witness the moment when a struggling pupil realises that they truly can achieve their goals.

With the right teacher, a child whose family may have felt hesitant about education can learn to love learning. With the right support, a child facing challenges with self-esteem can begin to recognise their own strengths. Every adult in our schools—from teachers and teaching assistants to senior leaders and administrative staff—plays a crucial role in changing lives for the better. Talented people are the core of CAT Schools, and we are committed to helping that talent thrive and grow.

Our mission is straightforward: to give every pupil the best start in life. Achieving this requires a team that is dynamic, creative, and well-supported. We prioritise your professional journey as much as our pupils’ futures. We want you to grow, develop, and feel valued as you help shape our schools and communities.

How do we do this?

• Exceptional professional development and career support
  We provide tailored training to help you refine your skills and advance your career.

• Comprehensive teacher training programmes
  We prepare our new teachers to make a real difference from the outset of their careers.

• Diverse apprenticeship opportunities
  We are committed to supporting career growth at every stage, helping you progress and achieve your goals.

At CAT, we don’t just aim to uplift our pupils. We aim to inspire your heart and mind —so that, together, we can raise aspirations, create opportunities, and transform lives.
