Emmaus Catholic Academy Trust is a large and growing family of Catholic schools across Greater Manchester, in Manchester, Oldham, Stockport, Tameside and Trafford, set to reach 67 in number by 2030. We are one of three Catholic Academy Trusts within the Diocese of Salford, and the only one covering the whole of the region. We exist for one reason: to make sure every pupil in every one of our schools gets a genuinely great education.

Great schools, strong in faith, serving society. That is what we are here to build, and it is what drives everything we do. We are here for the pupils in our classrooms, for the families who trust us with them, for the parishes our schools are rooted in, and for the communities we serve.

Our family is growing. More Catholic schools are joining us each year, and by 2030 there will be 67 of us. But we don’t measure our success in numbers. We measure it in what happens for children, families and communities because Emmaus is here.

We walk alongside our schools, not above them. We make sure that every headteacher, every teacher and every member of staff has the support, the expertise and the community around them to do their very best, from the classroom to our trust-wide work on SEND and inclusion. When they do, pupils flourish.

Catholic education has been present in these communities for generations, and Emmaus is carrying that tradition forward with confidence and pride. Whatever your background, whatever your faith, you are welcome here.
