Our priority is providing schools which deliver high quality Catholic education for our pupils, ensuring they are given the best opportunities to flourish.
Academy trusts enable schools to share best practice, expertise, resources and training. As a result, pupils have an enriched school experience and benefit from a wider range of opportunities. Supporting schools to become academies will benefit our pupils in the short and long term, by ensuring they receive the high quality and enriched Catholic education they deserve.
