Our Vision & Values
It is our Catholic ethos to treat others with dignity and respect no matter what the circumstances. We have a number of policies in school that support us in ensuring equality is paramount to our daily lives in school. These include: – Racial Equality, Equal Opportunities, Special Educational Needs, Disability and accessibility and Sex and Relationships policy.
These policies ensure that all groups of people are treated with respect and have equal access and opportunities as everyone else. For example; – the school may pay for trips and equipment for pupils that are from low income families. The school may also purchase specialist teaching, equipment, resources and modify learning environments for children with special needs.
Mater Ecclesiae Catholic Trust
Mater Ecclesiae is one of three Catholic Multi Academy Trusts (CMATs) formed by the Diocese of Lancaster to protect, preserve, nourish and enhance the Catholic religion through the establishment, maintenance and development of Catholic schools.
Mater Ecclesiae was formed in 2022 and currently consists of seven Catholic primary schools and one Catholic secondary school. In geographical terms, the Trust extends across Preston and rural Preston and all are within the local authority area of Lancashire.
