From the St Patrick's Catholic Primary and Nursery School
The Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Multi-Academy Trust will join forces with all 21 Catholic schools in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire on September 1 to form a partnership that will guarantee the best possible academic, social, and spiritual experiences and outcomes for the students in our schools. This will be accomplished by cooperating to share our strengths and pinpoint the areas where we can benefit from one another. As a Catholic MAT, all we do will be centred on the person, teachings, and life of Jesus Christ. The Trust Board, which will be led by Ken Daly, will be in charge of overseeing the CMAT. Along with the Board of Directors, the CEO, James McGeachie, will establish the strategic direction of the Trust and be in charge of all aspects of its operations. Each school's Local Governing Body will pay attention. The Nottingham Catholic Teaching School Alliance, which is situated at The Becket School, is the Trust's own teaching school. By arranging subject networks, brokering school-to-school support, offering top-notch CPD, and coordinating ITT placements via the Schools Direct route, the Teaching School will assist the work of the schools. NLEs, LLEs, and SLEs are already employed by the TSA to assist the work of the Teaching School.
