About Catholic Schools Partnership

Our purpose is to support Catholic schools in delivering excellence in education by helping them recruit with purpose and train with faith.

 

Our vision for the Partnership

We believe Catholic education plays a vital role in forming young people not just academically, but spiritually and morally.

Therefore it is important to us that every school deserves access to staff and training that reflect this mission.

To see every Catholic school and multi-academy trust equipped with the right people, training, and HR support to flourish.

Our children are the future workforce

We aim to be the go-to recruitment and training partner for Catholic education in the UK — recognised for quality, values-led service, and a deep understanding of Catholic school life.
The role that Catholic teachers play stands alongside the value we place on all teachers who contribute to and support the Catholic ethos in the schools It is important that we honour the role that teachers have in encouraging children to take part in the school's prayer, worship and charitable culture to support the goals of the diocese within the community.
