The school will serve the whole of the Chester area, concentrating particularly upon areas of social and economic deprivation. Providing a safe, happy and respectful environment in which pupils develop academically, socially, musically and spiritually in order to become independent and valuable members of society.  \nOur shared vision:  \n• An inclusive school welcoming all pupils, irrespective of background and ability. Every child’s individual learning needs will be supported through personalised learning plans.  \n• To design a curriculum that will foster confidence, aspiration and achievement through teamwork and individual expression that is delivered through high standards of behaviour, presentation and mutual respect.  \n• To use music as a tool to raise self-belief amongst young people who may not have previously enjoyed its benefits to the full, and to maximise its potential to bridge barriers between cultures, religions and communities.  \n• To identify and nurture musical and vocal talents and apply them to learning and wider opportunities.  \nA one-form entry school, with up to 210 girls and boys between ages 4-11, to open in September 2013 with classes in Reception and Year 1 only. The school will reach financial ’steady state’ by 2016, and full student complement by September 2018.  \nSection A: Applicant details  \nMain contact for this application  \n\n|  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | Name:  – |  |  |\n| 2. | Address:\u003Cbr>UCAT\u003Cbr>University of Chester-Riverside Campus\u003Cbr>Castle Drive\u003Cbr>Chester\u003Cbr>CH1 1SL |  |  |\n| 3. | Email address: |  |  |\n| 4. | Telephone number:  |  |  |\n| About your group |  |  |  |\n| 5. | Please state how you would describe your group: | Academy sponsor |  |\n| 6. | If Other, please provide more details:\u003Cbr>UCAT is a multi-academy sponsor.
