Retaining your Schools Autonomy
We understand that special schools are unique places and take pride in their identity. ICAT strongly believe that the culture and ethos of each academy in the Trust should be recognised, celebrated and maintained.
Individual character
We ensure that every academy maintains its own individuality. The 'non-negotiable' values held by the Trust are aligned to systems and procedures for efficiency and economies of scale; we do not have a ‘one size’ fits all approach to our schools.
Academies retain their own uniform, name, logo, motto, school day and term times. As a member of the Interaction and Communication Academy Trust, all we ask is for recognition on signage and stationery.
