We formed as a Catholic Multi Academy Trust in September 2014.  The Trust’s Academies are Christ the King Catholic Academy and St. Cuthbert’s Catholic Academy, both one form entry primary schools, and St. Mary’s Catholic Academy which is an 11-18 school.  Christ the King and St. Mary’s Catholic Academies are co-located on the same site, in new or newly refurbished buildings, following a large capital programme.  The parish church of Christ the King is also on the same site.  St. Cuthbert’s Catholic Academy is just under three miles away across the town.  It has also benefitted from significant capital investment. St Mary’s has recently been designated as a Research School and a CPD Centre of Excellence.
