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.

One of Courage:
As modelled for us by St Teresa of Calcutta, we 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.

We can offer:

• Be a member of a forward-thinking and innovative leadership team, driving excellence across our Trust.
• Lead a thriving Catholic academy as part of a growing family of schools across Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Salford, and Wigan.
