Joining the BOSCO Trust
We are pleased to inform parents, carers and all stakeholders that St John the Baptist is exploring the possibility of joining the BOSCO Trust as part of a multi-academy trust.
This step follows the example set by many other Catholic schools across the country that have already joined BOSCO, and is fully supported by our Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, which is encouraging its schools to take this path. The move is driven by our strong desire to protect and secure the future of authentic Catholic education for the children in our care.
By joining the BOSCO Trust, we will benefit from the strength, stability and shared expertise of a values-driven Catholic organisation while retaining our own distinct identity, ethos and close links with our parish and local community. BOSCO’s clear commitment to excellence in Catholic education, pastoral care and academic standards aligns closely with the vision and values that have always guided our school.
We remain fully committed to:
- Maintaining and strengthening our Catholic character and distinctiveness
- Providing the highest quality education for every child
- Working in close partnership with you as parents and carers
- Serving our local community
Further details and opportunities for discussion will be shared with parents as the consultation process develops. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
We are confident that this is the right step to secure a strong and sustainable future for St John the Baptist, ensuring that we continue to provide an outstanding Catholic education for generations to come.
Thank you for your continued support.
