ASCAT for Staff

What being part of ASCAT means for staff

A community that values people
Joining ASCAT means joining a family. Our schools retain their individuality while sharing the support, leadership and faith foundation of the Trust.

“There is now a network of support to help catch us all if we stumble and encourage us when we need it.”
— ASCAT Teacher

Career development and progression
We invest in professional growth through cross-Trust training, mentoring, leadership development and secondment opportunities. Our partnerships with national and diocesan training providers offer routes into teaching and leadership.

Wellbeing and benefits
Staff wellbeing is central to our mission. We offer comprehensive support through Employee Assistance Programmes — ensuring that every colleague is cared for and supported .

Innovation and collaboration
ASCAT staff work together on curriculum design, assessment, pastoral initiatives and Catholic life. Shared expertise strengthens every classroom.

“Working across the Trust has made me a better teacher. I’ve learned from colleagues, shared ideas, and felt part of something truly special.”

All Saints Catholic Academy Trust (ASCAT)

Formed in 2016, as part of the Diocese of Westminster's Academy Strategy, we provide a collaborative structure of school support and innovation for Catholic schools in South West Hertfordshire. Our vision of an 'Outstanding Education for All' comes from this desire to enable all members of school communities to flourish and succeed and to do all that we can to make our schools places where ambition for all is at the heart of everything that we do.
