Diocesan Academy Strategy 

"The Trustees of the Archdiocese have requested that all schools under the Diocesan Trust Deed work towards becoming 'academy ready.' This means that the Archdiocese sees the long term future of its schools as forming and being part of a multi academy company with other Catholic schools in their local area."
