Our Mission
"Called by Christ to be agents of change and apostles of hope"
Inspired by the challenge of St Oscar Romero to “Live our Lives with Purpose”, there are 5 core principles that drive the ethos of our Trust.
These are to:
Act with Courage
Build Community
Embrace Faith
Seek Justice
Serve the Poor
Responding to the call of the Gospel, we provide a distinctive Catholic Education, steadfast in our commitment to collaboration, professional development, and community partnerships. By working together, we can overcome challenges, celebrate achievements, and create a vibrant family of schools where every child can flourish
Everything we do is driven by the child at the centre of our schools and our Trust. This means that we constantly strive to always do all that can be done and do it very well. We do this to give each one of our children the very best a Catholic Education can give.
Through the inspiration of St Oscar Romero, as those involved in delivering excellence in Catholic Education:
We plant the seeds that one day will grow.
We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise.
We lay foundations that will need further development.
We provide yeast that produces far beyond our capabilities.
We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realising that
This enables us to do something, and to do it very well.
Our Prayer
Loving God, we thank you for uniting all the schools within the
St Oscar Romero Catholic Academy Trust
Bless our Academy Trust; as we seek to build communities of faith, give us the courage to speak out against injustice, the humility to serve others as Christ served, and the wisdom to guide those entrusted to our care.
May we always strive to live our lives with purpose and to inspire our young people to become agents of change in the world.
We pray that our schools will always be centred on Christ, reflections of Your Kingdom and places of learning and love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
St Oscar Romero, pray for us.
