THE CHALLENGE ACADEMY TRUST
Menu
The Challenge Academy Trust was formed in 2017 by like-minded leaders of local primary and secondary schools in Warrington along with Priestley College
A robust structure is in place within TCAT to ensure that educational standards and expectations are met across the board with a strong sense of accountability in all schools
Glad to be back at Penketh, but our hearts are definitely still in the Alps ❄️❤️
Congratulations to our Yr9 artists who were part of the Priestley College Art Exhibition last week
It was fantastic to see pupils work on display alongside other TCAT schools. The talent was incredible, & it was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the hard work produced by pupils
Last Friday, our Year 10 artists had a fantastic opportunity to work with Mike from Priestley College for a specialised creative workshop.
The session focused on the iconic style of artist Jim Dine, known for his powerful depictions of everyday tools.
The work of our Y9 students is currently being exhibited at Priestley College, and wow, TCAT are absolutely blown away by the creativity and talent on display. So proud of our young artists! 🎨💫

Massive well done to all our Year 8 pupils who are the Tokens for Trips winners this week!
This was such a successful topic in Reception, they loved the antics of the Naughty Bus and couldn’t wait to tell me each day what it had been up to!
Last week the Naughty pushed caused chaos in our classrooms, we had a very busy week, the children enjoyed making wanted posters. The bus managed to sneak to Mrs Mahony’s house.
A lovely visit from some super star writers in @willowtreeclass . They have been working so hard on handwriting and recounting their visit to Weaver Hall. #greatsankeyenglish
Great to have Joe Obiro from @TCATchallenge in today working with our Year 3 and 4 children on team building and effective communication.
