Bishop Bosco has shared his vision for all his schools to work together and undertake a due diligence exercise in readiness for the establishment of Catholic Multi Academy Trusts (MATs) across the diocese. His reason for doing this was to respond to the changes in the educational landscape and ensure Catholic education is sustainable and remains true to its key principles for the generations of pupils now and yet to come. The directive from Bishop Bosco and the Clifton Diocese is that all schools are to be in a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) or be academy ready - with academy ready meaning the point at which schools have completed sufficient preparation to enable/facilitate formal commitment to the academy process when appropriate.
