Achievement through Collaboration (AtC) is a Trust of five strong schools across Blackpool, Blackburn, Wigan, and Lancashire. The Trust is also an accredited ITT provider, operating a network of Teacher Training Hubs across the North-West to deliver high-quality teacher training programme in schools and trusts.
Achievement through Collaboration is a Trust with a purpose! We want our children, our staff and our schools to Achieve, Belong and Collaborate.

A Multi Academy Trust is a charity with a single purpose- to advance education for the public benefit.
But, if every Trust has the same single purpose, what is it that sets Achievement through Collaboration apart from other Trusts? What is our promise to our children, staff, parents and communities? How do we ensure that children attending an AtC school are receiving a better education than they would have had should their school not be a member of our Trust?
Achievement through Collaboration is a Trust with a purpose! We want our children, our staff and our schools to Achieve, Belong and Collaborate.
To achieve our purpose, we know there are things we need to get right!
Through a clear definition and articulation of the values and beliefs of Achievement through Collaboration, we’ve built an organisation with children at the heart of everything we do. Our schools have the individuality to make the right choices for their pupils, staff and communities within a culture of collaboration.
Our Trust Board owns the strategic plan, holding the executive team to account to deliver it whilst delegating the correct things to the Local Governing Bodies. LGBs are supported to build their role around the children, parents and staff of their individual school whilst expressing the “we” of the Trust.
Key to maintaining our successful educational standards is a clear trust wide school improvement strategy/plan that meets the needs of every school wherever they are on their journey. Our Trust Wide strategy for capturing the most effective practice and transmitting it between more classrooms is in place and underpinned by a workforce talent management strategy that facilitates staff development and deployment.
A strong central team connects the academies enabling leaders and teachers to concentrate on educational delivery. Achievement through Collaboration is financially stable which enables the strategic allocation of resources that enables standards to be maintained and improvements to be achieved.
We believe that all children, staff and schools benefit from belonging to a family of schools within a strong collaborative multi-academy trust. We are an outward organisation, we embrace innovation and opportunities that benefit our pupils. AtC has invested in staff to build capacity to collaborate with other schools and we are now actively looking to grow further.
If you share our values and are interested in joining one of our schools as a member of staff or your school joining our Trust, we look forward to hearing from you.

That’s a wrap! We hope you enjoyed the Reception Nativity 2025 🎄🎅✨ A huge well done to everybody involved 🌟 … See MoreSee Less
Reception had a very special visit from our local lolly-pop lady who explained to the children what she does and how important her job is keeping everyone safe. She even showed them her special stop sign 🚸✨
It's wonderful when our community helpers take time to connect with the children and help them understand the caring people who look out for them every day 💛😊 … See MoreSee Less
We are incredibly proud to celebrate that Roseacre has officially achieved Equal Access to football in PE lessons! ⚽️⭐️
This fantastic achievement comes from the latest national survey completed at the end of the last academic year, which helps England Football and The FA measure how many girls across the country now have equal access to football in schools.
This milestone reflects our commitment to inclusion, opportunity, and inspiring the next generation of female footballers.
A huge well done to our staff, pupils, and everyone who made this possible! ⚽️👏⭐️ … See MoreSee Less

What a magical week we've had! 🎭✨ Years 1 – 6 went on a special trip to St Helen's Theatre this week to watch the panto performance of Dick Whittington – and they were absolutely mesmerised from beginning to end🤩
The children behaved beautifully and we even received a message from the theatre following our trip that we wanted to share with you:
"Good Afternoon,
Your staff and children recently visited our Theatre to watch our Panto: Dick Whittington. Not only were they a pleasure to deal with whilst here, but they left our auditorium absolutely spotlessly clean!
We are visited by hundreds of school children, and children with their families, throughout the run of 75 performances and litter left on the floor and under the seats is often an issue when clearing and preparing the auditorium for the next show.
However, I am delighted to pass on the comments and praise of all our Front Of House Staff who remarked on the cleanliness of the stalls where your children were seated, and came to the Box Office to say “ that school needs praising!”
Please convey our gratitude to your children and their Teachers and Support Staff – if every school left the theatre as you did, then our Cleaning Team would be very happy!
Please tell your children and their parents that their behaviour when they visit venues is noted and remembered!
May I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and we hope to see you back next year!"
Well done all of you, we are so proud of how you represented the school and yourselves👏😊🎉 … See MoreSee Less

Important Message from Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service:
As we enter the festive season, please be vigilant regarding how you are heating your home and keeping warm. Below are some simple tips and common things to look out for:
❤️🔥Check the heaters are a safe distance from any person, furniture and fabrics.
❤️🔥Check the heaters are not creating a trip hazard.
❤️🔥Old and or damaged heaters should be replaced.
❤️🔥We advocate oil filled radiators as a safer alternative to other mobile heaters as this type of heater significantly reduces the risk of a fire.
If you are struggling to heat your home please contact cosy homes who can offer advice and support:
