About Us

St Cuthbert's Roman Catholic Academy Trust is family of Catholic schools in the Middlesbrough Diocese offering exceptional education for pupils aged 2-19 years old. As St Cuthbert did, we give ourselves gladly for the education of those in our care and walk with them on their life road wherever it may take them.

The Trust was initially formed with the two schools of St Mary Queen of Martyrs and Endsleigh Holy Child to begin a journey to maintain high standards of Catholic education. Since then we have grown to become a group of fifteen schools collectively working together, but still rooted within each of the parish communities we are proud to serve.

We have maintained the distinctive nature of each of the schools whilst sharing recognised good practice across the board to build an established Trust of excellence.
