TCEAT aims to deliver outstanding education in a comprehensive school setting andembraces the Trust motto ‘Life in all its fullness’, encouraging students to use their individual gifts wisely and well.Supported by the London Diocesan Board for Schools (LDBS), TCEAT operates on collaborative principles with some centralservices to achieve consistency of provision.The Trust has a highly evolved common curriculum running through years 7-13, which has been devised by staff within the fourschools. It has thriving post-16 provision, including both A-Levels and T-Levels, and is heavily oversubscribed. Music plays a significant role in the spiritual life of the TCEAT schools and pastoral systems are strong. The Trust also runs Teach West London, a Teaching School Hub for teacher training and development with outreach to over 330 schools across Ealing, harrow Hillingdon and Hounslow. More recently, TCEAT partnered with Oak National Academy to develop their English Secondary curriculum and produce high-quality resources for pupils in years 7–11.
