Mater Ecclesiae Multi-Academy Trust

Thursday 1st December 2022 saw us become one of the founding members of the Mater Ecclesiae Multi-Academy Trust. 

Following the call from Bishop Paul Swarbrick, inviting all schools in Preston to come together to form a Catholic Multi-Academy Trust we have worked alongside Our Lady and St Edwards, St Augustine's, St Bernard's, St Clare's, St Joseph's and The Blessed Sacrament to form the Mater Ecclesiae Multi-Academy Trust. 

As one of the founding schools, we saw this work as a unique opportunity to work in collaboration and trust. Working together with families and parishes in a spirit of openness, honesty and ongoing development for the good of the young people in our care. To have Mater Ecclesiae - Mother of the Church - as our patron, as we are called 'One family in Christ'. It seems fitting that the start of the new liturgical year marks the start of this Catholic Multi-Academy Trust.
