Welcome Parents / Carers,

Last year, our Governors consulted with all of our families and staff to gather their views on joining the Catholic Multi Academy Trust of St Clare.

The consultation started on Friday 9th December 2022 and ended on Friday 20th January 2023. This allowed everyone plenty of time to share their views.

Our Governors met in the Spring Term to view the results and plan their next steps. It was resolved at this meeting that our schools would join the MAT. A further meeting during the Summer Term was called to discuss a potential conversion date. At this meeting, it was decided that the Federation would aim for a potential conversion date of September 2024.

At the moment, the majority of Catholic Schools in Sheffield make up the current St Clare's MAT and it is expected that more schools will be in a position to join at various points during the next academic year.

As parents, you should see no changes to the day to day running of the schools. There will be no changes to the school names or uniform. Our schools will still have our unique identities.

We will keep you informed of the progress towards entering the MAT as we move through the process.

Thank you

Mrs J Wray

Executive Headteacher
