On 11th July 2024, Archbishop Bernard Longley outlined a new plan for our Catholic Schools. The goal is to move from collaboration to shared responsibility by bringing all Catholic schools into a smaller number of stronger, flourishing Catholic Multi-Academy Trusts (CMATs). After consulting widely, the Diocesan Trustees have approved the formation of a new CMAT, merging from some existing academies and Voluntary Aided schools, of which St. Anthony's is one. 

 

All stakeholders were consulted between 24th February and 24th March. The outcome of the consultation can be found below.
