The Pope Francis Catholic MAT is the first of the Catholic Multi Academy Trusts that are being formed by the Archdiocese of Liverpool. Each school within the Archdiocese will be given the opportunity to join one of 12 locally based Catholic MATs. We are the first of these MATs and are therefore acting as a pathfinder for the CMATs that will follow. At present there are three schools within the CMAT; St Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic Academy in Whiston, Sacred Heart Catholic Academy in Crosby and The Salesian Academy of St John Bosco in Bootle. The Pope Francis Catholic MAT will serve the Sefton area and may ultimately include up to 29 Catholic schools, both primary and secondary. The Archdiocesan Catholic MATs will work closely with one another and have a clearly defined philosophy about the way in which a Multi Academy Trust works.

We believe that each of our schools has their own distinct identity, history, tradition and values. We believe very much in the preservation of this identity and that the role of the Trust is to work with the Headteacher to offer support and the highest quality services to enable the schools to focus exclusively on providing the highest quality of education rather than dealing with other distractions. We aim to create a collaborative Trust where all individuals are able to thrive and flourish knowing that they are being underpinned with strong support. Our Mission is clearly laid out, “Enabling schools, aspiration and faith to flourish by uplifting hearts and inspiring minds.”

Our values are:

Unity - working together for excellence

Excellence - to thrive to be the best

Love - respect and care for others and treat them as you want to be treated

Service - following the teachings of Christ to become valued members of our communities
