The ‘All Saints Catholic Academy Trust’ was created with the aim of bringing together like-minded schools who share a strong Catholic ethos and ambition to deliver the best possible outcomes for our pupils.
More than ever, the education of our children is a collective endeavour, where our amazing school leaders, teachers and support staff need the support of committed school governors and Trust Directors.
It’s not expected that we will be education experts, but by volunteering our time, life skills and career experience we can use our collective talents to help our school leaders create an inspiring, developmental, and nurturing environment for the benefit of all.
Being a governor and Trust Director has been an incredibly rewarding experience.
So if you want an opportunity to give something back and make a real difference in your local community, then look no further than your local school or Trust

Despite working in education for a number of years, I had very limited knowledge of how academy trusts operate and function. Being a Director at ASCAT I have learnt an incredible amount about how trusts are funded and how they strategize. Furthermore, being part of ASCAT has given me the opportunity to develop my own knowledge as I have been provided numerous opportunities for further training, in areas such as; safeguarding, grievances, governorship and finance.
