About Pope Francis Catholic Multi Academy Trust
Pope Francis is at an exciting point in our development journey, with the opportunity for our Trust to grow and help our schools provide the best possible Catholic education for every child, in every school.
Our Trust is committed to supporting schools to provide the best possible Catholic education which:
Enables pupils to grow in their love of God and their neighbour as themselves and providing an experience rich in prayer, liturgy and celebration of the Word.
Recognises the uniqueness of each child and is highly inclusive but enabling all to succeed by breaking down any barriers.
Focuses on every child becoming a reader and confident with numbers.
Secures high attendance to enable all to flourish and secure high outcomes.
Has a well-qualified and motivated team of adults in which the unique contribution of each is recognised and that staff are developed professionally and empowered.
It is outward-facing, working with a wide range of partners, and seeks to provide a place where the joy of being one of God’s children is lived out in a school that curates opportunities for personal, social, spiritual and cultural development.
Enables children to learn in safe, clean, warm and well-maintained buildings with modern ICT facilities.
Is in a financially robust position that is monitored carefully, thus ensuring limited resources have the highest impact for all.


We understand that each school is unique and has its own distinctive community to serve with its own priorities.
At the same time we are a Trust and being part of a Trust family will help bring about school improvement in so many different ways but especially by collaboration.
