Academy Status
We are delighted to be part of St Raphael the Archangel Catholic Multi-Academy Trust, a family of Catholic schools working together to provide the very best education and opportunities for the children and communities we serve.
Being part of a wider Catholic family brings significant benefits to our school. We are able to work closely with other schools, sharing expertise, resources and excellent practice, while benefiting from the support and capacity that comes from belonging to a larger organisation. Our teachers and leaders have greater opportunities to collaborate and learn from colleagues across the Trust, and our children benefit from being part of a much wider community of Catholic schools. Importantly, we continue to cherish the individual character, traditions and relationships that make our school special. We remain firmly rooted in our local community, while knowing that we have the strength, expertise and support of the wider Trust behind us.
At the heart of St Raphael the Archangel Catholic Multi-Academy Trust is a shared commitment to high-quality Catholic education, placing Christ at the centre and helping every child to flourish academically, spiritually and personally. For our families, this means the reassurance of knowing that our school is not working in isolation: we are part of a strong network of schools with shared values, collective expertise and a common ambition for every child. Together, we are stronger – while remaining proudly and distinctively our own school community.
