Chase Terrace Technology College became an Academy on 1st January 2017 and is now part of the newly formed Stephen Sutton Multi Academy Trust. Dr Stuart Jones has been appointed to the role of Executive Director of the SSMAT. More details about the SSMAT, its vision and values can be found on the trusts website www.stephensuttonmat.co.uk

Chase Terrace Technology College will work closely with the SSMAT in much the same way as we used to work with the local education authority. Whilst CTTC will continue to work as an autonomous academy we will be advised and guided in our decision making by SSMAT. As other schools join the SSMAT this will enable us to collaborate, learn and develop our approaches by sharing best practice.

As people from this community will know, being part of a Multi Academy Trust which carries the name of Stephen Sutton is something that we are immensely proud of. Our school community is built upon Stephen’s values and we quote his “Live, Love, Laugh, Learn” mantra on a daily basis. This helps us to promote a developing sense of resilience amongst our students who we hope display optimistic personal behaviour and positive relationships both in school and in the community.
