We can’t wait to work with the family of schools across the MAT to share best practice and ideas to help move our school forward.”

By joining the Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust, Ss Peter & Paul will benefit from a wealth of shared expertise, enhanced resources, and collaborative opportunities that will further enrich the school community.
