Our Diocese
We are proud to be part of the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle.
Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust is one of four Catholic multi-academy trusts in the North East of England. Our Trust was established in 2020 following the diocesan vision for Catholic education across the region.
Our relationship with the Diocese supports our schools in their shared mission to provide high-quality Catholic education, placing Christ at the centre of everything we do.
Diocesan Department for Education
The Diocesan Department for Education (DDfE) for the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle supports Catholic schools and trusts to ensure they are successful and act in accordance with the Trust Deed of the Diocese.
The document Christ at the Centre identifies four key reasons why the Catholic Church provides schools.

To be at the service of the local Church, the Diocese, the parish and the Christian home.
To be of service to society.
