Our Mission
Our Trust Mission is simple, it is to make Christ known, making lives better for our communities, our children and young people.
Our Values
One of Hope:
Inspired
by St Teresa of Calcutta, we are people of hope. We have a complete belief in
the future we will build together. By offering our children, staff and schools’
opportunities to grow and flourish, we make aspiration and ambition a reality.
Our people, just like St Teresa are relentless and fiercely ambitious. We will
always reach for that which seems to be just out of our grasp.
One of Courage:
As modelled for us by St Teresa of Calcutta, we will have the courage to do what is right. As a community, we will not shy away from making decisions that ensure our communities thrive. We will be brave in our actions. As a truly Catholic organisation this courage will be most apparent in how we collectively support the most vulnerable.
One of Innovation:
St Teresa of Calcutta changed the world. Together, we will always be pursuing new ideas and best practice in all areas of our work. We will prepare our children and young people for the world that awaits them. A world which they will shape and change.
