St Joseph Catholic Multi Academy Trust was launched in 2021 as part of the Department for Education pilot project to provide expert support to Catholic schools with directive academy orders. The aim of this high-profile project is to increase Catholic sponsorship capacity in the region. The Trust has been developed in partnership with the Catholic Education Service, the Archdiocese of Liverpool, the Diocese of Shrewsbury and the Diocese of Chester. The first school joined the Trust in March 2022, five more in April 2022 and a further school in September 2022. Each academy joins the Trust at a different starting point and bespoke key performance indicators are agreed with the DfE, for example around educational performance, finance, attendance or increasing pupil numbers. The Trust has put in place a 3-5 year plan for each academy. The Trust is led by Andrew Truby (CEO), who has a strong track record in school improvement and is governed by a robust and experienced Board. The Trust is highly ambitious for all of the children across its academies and has developed an evidence-informed improvement strategy, which brings together the latest research into pedagogy and curriculum. The Trust’s Reading Guarantee ensures that every child learns to read through systematic synthetic phonics and chooses to read frequently for pleasure. A Trust curriculum has been developed in partnership with external partners such as Ark Curriculum Plus, which reflects the Board's vision for excellence.
