About Christ the Redeemer
Catholic Education Trust

A Multi-Academy Trust united by faith, dedicated to excellence in Catholic education across South West London.

How We Came Together

The Christ the Redeemer Catholic Education Trust was established in 2024 with a clear mission: to bring together Catholic schools across Kingston, Richmond and Wandsworth to share expertise, resources and a commitment to outstanding education.

As a Multi-Academy Trust, we believe that schools are stronger together. By collaborating across our family of schools, we can offer our children and young people the very best in Catholic education — grounded in Gospel values and driven by high academic ambitions.

Our Trust serves over 3,000 children and more than 450 members of staff across eight schools in three London boroughs — Kingston, Richmond and Wandsworth — from Reception right through to Sixth Form.

Our Mission

With Gospel values at the heart of everything, we cherish the unique nature of every community member so our young people leave prepared to make a positive contribution to society.

Faith, Excellence, Community, Collaboration, Respect and Aspiration — the pillars that guide our Trust every day.

How We Work Together

Shared Professional Development

Our teachers and leaders collaborate across schools, sharing expertise and best practice to raise standards for all children throughout the Trust.

Collective Resource Sharing

By pooling resources and working together, our schools can access better support, materials, and specialist provision than they could individually.

Strong Local Governing Bodies

Each school retains its own Local Governing Body, ensuring the unique identity and community of each school is preserved and celebrated.

Catholic Character

Our Catholic ethos is central to all we do. We work closely with the Diocese to ensure our schools are vibrant centres of Catholic life and learning.
