We here at Dudley Academies Trust want to make sure we are doing all we can to help support our vulnerable learners and all key workers who are working very hard in this difficult time. 

We are so fortunate to have the outstanding Dudley College of Technology as our sponsor and we are in the process of designing an exciting programme of education. The ‘DAT Futures’ programme which will run at the Evolve campus for all learners who need to be in an educational setting. The programme will be project based and focus on helping our learners plan for their exciting futures through experiencing a range of thematic experiences in the cutting edge facilities of Dudley College. 

You should only continue sending your child to school if you have to, because your work is critical to the COVID-19 response or they are vulnerable learners. If you are able to keep your child at home, you should.

All projects will include aspects of literacy, numeracy, communication skills and confidence building. Our five core values will also run though all programmes of study. Learners will be able to transfer their knowledge and skills acquired from the projects to all of their subjects when academy life returns to normal.

All applications will be judged on a case by case basis but we will do our best to accommodate as many learners as we can and support as many families in our community as we can. Please fill in the application form below with as much detail as possible and someone will be in touch as soon as they can.
