Welcome from the CEO
It is both a joy and a privilege to welcome you to the website of the Romero Catholic Academy Trust.
Romero CAT is a dynamic and growing Catholic Academy Trust serving the Diocese of Salford, with schools across Lancashire, Blackburn with Darwen and Calderdale. We currently serve a family of twelve primary and four secondary schools, proudly playing a central role in fulfilling Bishop John’s vision: that by 2030, every school in the Diocese will be part of a Catholic Academy Trust.
Our mission is rooted in the life and witness of our patron, St Oscar Romero, who reminds us to “aspire not to have more, but to be more.” Inspired by this call, we strive to shape communities that are grounded in Catholic Social Teaching and guided by our core values of Faith, Service, Aspiration and Collaboration.
Our values shape all that we do:
FAITH
Nurturing a living relationship with God at the heart of our communities.
SERVICE
Living our faith by placing the needs of others before our own.
ASPIRATION
Helping every individual to flourish and fulfil their God-given potential.
COLLABORATION
Working together in a spirit of unity, sharing our gifts and strengthening one another.
Whether you are a parent, carer, prospective colleague or visitor, I hope you find this website informative and reflective of the vibrant life of our Trust. If you have any questions or can’t find what you need, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
With every blessing,
Katy Cox
CEO, Romero Catholic Academy Trust
