About Us

Welcome from our CEO
Schools sit at the heart of our communities, providing the opportunity to achieve academic excellence, investing in the development of our communities. As a family of schools inspired by Christ, we aim to enable each individual to fulfil their God given potential. Excellence for everyone, through learning, respect and partnership is at the heart of our Trust.
We passionately believe that every person should be able to become ‘the best version of themselves’ be that our pupils or our staff. We encourage everyone throughout the Trust to live our values and demonstrate our behaviours, on a daily basis:
Our Trust family of schools all work collaboratively, and we seek to achieve cohesion, not uniformity. Each of our schools is a unique community and it is important that they maintain their own uniqueness. We constantly look for ways to improve so that we can provide the best education for our pupils and the best opportunities for our staff.
I am very proud to be CEO of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust it is an honour to be part of shaping the next generation every day.
Better Schools, Better Communities, Better futures in Christ.
