Welcome from our CEO
Jacky Kennedy
The Mater Christi Trust was founded in September 2021. We are a growing Catholic Trust, starting with a family of 8 schools and now 16 Catholic schools: two secondaries and 14 primaries across North Lancashire and Cumbria in the Diocese of Lancaster.
Our schools are spread geographically across two counties and three Local Authorities. Our geography challenges our Trust to think and work cleverly in order to fulfil our Vision of “Our Family, Our Trust.” We do this by working closely with our Heads, finding and creating opportunities to work together and by knowing our staff and schools very well.
We have offices in Carlisle and in Ulverston…
Our Mission Statement
Our Values
Inspired by the example of Mary, Mother of Christ, Mater Christi is a family of primary and secondary Catholic schools living and learning together for the common good of our children, families, and communities.
Our schools will strengthen the Catholic mission in the Diocese of Lancaster and have the wellbeing of our children at the heart of all we do. We are equal partners with a shared calling to ensure our children receive an outstanding education, providing them with the knowledge, skills, and spiritual development to excel in all they do.
At Mater Christi Trust, we embody the values of loving together, learning together, and excellence together. We embrace faith and compassion, inspire minds for the future, and build a united community. These principles guide our mission to provide excellent education, nurture personal growth, and foster a supportive and inclusive environment for everyone.
