As anticipated, on 22 November 2023, the Governing Board voted to continue the journey to form the Little Way Catholic Educational Trust with 5 other Catholic primary schools in Gloucestershire.  Our change in status from a Single Academy Trust to being part of a Multi-Academy Trust will take effect from 1 January 2024. It will be great to be part of a family of Catholic schools and work towards a shared vision. However, most aspects of the day-to-day running of the school will be unchanged. The name, uniform and ethos of our school will remain the same. We will continue to collaborate with local schools in the Stroud area. The Governing Board will become a Local Governing Committee and we will still have autonomy over how we spend our school funds.
