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
Isn’t technology just great?
We have used our VR headsets to take a trip into the rainforest to support our learning.

An evening full of fun and making memories with our friends ♥️
Campfire time, where we toasted marshmallows, sang songs and told jokes! Now it’s hot chocolate and marshmallows with a movie and colouring. Not sure we will be going to sleep any time soon! 🤦♀️@sycamore_tree1
What a beautiful day for some outdoor adventures on our Year 2 residential at Tattenhall.
What an amazing start to our residential! We learnt some jungle survival skills like tying knots and setting up hammocks, as well as lots of team building games.
I have just left our lovely Year 2 children in their pjs, watching a movie and drinking hot chocolate.
They’ve been fantastic and loved the campfire and singing (shouting!!!).
Hopefully, they’ll be 😴 very soon!
Sweet dreams Year 2 ♥️

A sense of ‘belonging’ in a place is so important. When we feel like we ‘fit’, feel safe and feel happy, we have the ingredients to thrive. ♥️
As part of children’s mental health week we have been looking at our ‘happy place’ and thinking about where we feel we belong most 🧠😀

For book club on Friday, our theme was our favourite authors. We brought our own books to school, and even had the pleasure of sharing these with our year 1 reading buddies. 📖 @OakClass_Sankey
This is always a favourite unit in our UKS2 PE curriculum. Our younger children also have the benefit of being taught skills by our older pupils.
We loved being with @pinetreeclass for their real leaders topic. We loved taking part in the activities they set up. Thank you! #greatsankeysport
A great book club focus for Children’s Mental Health Week. ♥️
