On 1 April 2025, Warmingham CE Primary School joined the Chester Diocesan Academies Trust (CDAT) and formally became part of the Rural Church Schools Academy Trust.

Through this partnership, we continue to deliver high‑quality education rooted in Christian values, while benefiting from the strength, support and shared expertise of a family of Church of England schools.   Being part of the Trust enables collaboration, professional development and shared learning, while allowing Warmingham to retain its unique identity as a rural church school serving its local community.

CDAT’s vision is inspired by the words of Jesus: “I have come in order that you might have life, life in all its fullness.” (John 10:10)

CDAT is committed to ensuring that every child experiences life in all its fullness.   This includes outstanding learning opportunities, rich experiences in sport, music and the arts, opportunities to build lasting friendships, support others, develop confidence and pursue ambitions. CDAT’s vision and ethos are firmly rooted in faith, hope and love, supporting schools to ensure that their Christian vision permeates all aspects of school life.
