About the Trust
About St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Multi Academy Trust – our school is part of the St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Multi‑Academy Trust which brings together 23 Catholic primary and secondary schools in Leicester City, Rutland and Leicestershire.
Our priority is to ensure the very best Catholic education for all young people in our community, whatever their circumstances. We will achieve this together, through a strategic approach to sharing best practice, effective challenge and support from a central standards and performance team, and opportunities for high‑quality continuous professional development.
The Trust and all our schools within the Trust are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check, online check and other pre‑employment checks are required for successful applicants. The Trust will endeavour to make any necessary reasonable adjustments to the job and the working environment to enable access to employment opportunities for disabled job applicants, or continued employment for any employee who develops a disabling condition.
Our Trust strives to be a supportive, inclusive, caring and positive community where every staff member has a sense of belonging. We are committed to cultivating an equitable working environment where staff treat one another with dignity, respect, and where every individual can fulfil their potential. We warmly welcome those of different cultures, ethnicities and beliefs. This includes those of all faiths, the Catholic faith and those without a faith who are supportive of the Trust’s Catholic character and Christian ethos. This diversity is fundamental to our values and enriches the lives of the students within our schools.
We are a Disability Confident, Committed employer and welcome applications from people with a disability or long‑term health condition.
