Our Lady of Lourdes CMAT was formed as part of a visionary approach to Catholic education across the Diocese of Nottingham. Originally the Our Lady of Lourdes CMAT brought together the 21 Catholic primary and secondary schools within Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City. Since 1 September 2022, all Lincolnshire Catholic schools have joined the OLoL family making us a Trust of 36 Catholic schools – all benefiting from exceptional opportunities to share best practice and learn from each other.

We are, first and foremost, a CMAT and aim to provide an outstanding faith-based education; we place the life, teachings and person of Jesus Christ at the centre of everything we do. Jesus taught us to put children first:

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

Our priority is to ensure the very best Catholic education for all young people in our community, whatever their circumstances. We will achieve this together, through a strategic approach to sharing best practice, effective challenge and support from a central standards and performance team and opportunities for high quality Initial Teacher Training and Continuing Professional Development offered by the CMAT’s Training Hub.
