St Alban’s Catholic Primary School joins multi academy trust

An exciting new era begins for St Alban’s Catholic Primary School in Wallasey as it proudly joins Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust (HFCMAT).

The school, located on Ashburton Road, is committed to providing a high-quality Catholic education, and joining the Trust will further enhance opportunities for students, staff, and the wider school community.

Drawing on Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust’s proven track record of strengthening school communities, St Alban’s will be supported in the next stage of its development as it joins the Trust.

Mr John McDonald, said: “We are very excited to formally join the Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust. This marks a significant new chapter for St Alban’s, one that brings with it a shared commitment to excellence, collaboration, and the flourishing of all our children.

“Thanks to the Trust’s vision and through the leadership of CEO, Andy Moor, we will work together to secure strong outcomes for every child at St Alban’s. This partnership represents a powerful opportunity for our wonderful school.”

St Alban’s has been working with colleagues across the Trust over the last year on projects involving The Floral Pavillion, Empire Theatres and Chester Zoo alongside a range of professional development programmes for staff. 

As part of HFCMAT, St Alban’s will benefit from a wealth of shared expertise, enhanced resources, and collaborative opportunities that will further enrich the school community
