Trust Vision and Values: https://laetarecmat.co.uk/Vision-Values MISSION AND VISION DRIVE Our Mission and our Vision of Education will drive the culture and structures of the Laetare CMAT. RESPECT FOR DISTINCTIVENESS We are committed to a governance model, which respects and empowers each school’s unique identity and allows the individual charisms of each school’s founder to be nurtured. We value both the unity that flows from the common vision and the diversity of its expression in individual schools. We will ask for alignment rather than standardisation. COLLABORATION FOR THE COMMON GOOD The Laetare CMAT is, in its very essence, a collaborative venture. Our academies belong to different Religious Order foundations and a defining principle of the CMAT is that of collaboration. We also recognise our responsibility to work for the Common Good, not just of the academies in the Laetare CMAT, but to the wider family of Religious Order schools so there is mutual benefit. In support of the view that “The work of Catholic Education is essentially and always a work of partnerships”, the CMAT is also looking to build bridges of collaboration with local Dioceses and their Catholic Multi Academy Trusts and with the families and communities in the areas served by the Laetare CMAT.
