Welcoming Notre Dame Catholic Academy to the St Joseph Family

A new chapter for St Joseph Catholic Multi Academy Trust.

Based in Liverpool and surrounding areas, the Trust has recently welcomed a new member into its existing family of academies and schools. Leaders at the Trust are thrilled to introduce Notre Dame Catholic Academy as their newest member.  

This announcement sees the Trust increase its family of schools and academies to an impressive nine. The Trust also welcomes a new Headteacher for Notre Dame, Victoria Taylor, who will start her role in June. 

Based in Liverpool, Notre Dame Catholic Academy dates back to the 19th century as a well-established part of the Liverpool education system. In 2001, the academy became Liverpool’s first performing arts college; it was awarded the title and opened new facilities. The academy is incredibly proud of its rich history, a history which helps to reinforce its compassionate Catholic community.  

The academy’s vision is ‘To Open Hearts, Minds and Doors’, which reflects its desire to inspire its students through the love of God, the teachings of Jesus Christ and its Foundress, St Julie Billiart. This strong vision, with an emphasis on preparing students for their futures, sits alongside the academy’s values of ‘Charity, Courtesy, Courage and Confidence’ – instilled into every child.  

Notre Dame Catholic Academy prides itself on opening minds to new knowledge, ideas, theories, cultures and experiences, breaking cultural barriers through an imaginative curriculum and precise teaching.  

The academy strives to foster ambitious, happy and fulfilled futures for every member of its community. This ambition makes the academy a fantastic new addition to the St Joseph Catholic Multi Academy Trust, whose values also align with the academy’s goals for the future.  

The Trust is extremely excited to begin this new chapter with Notre Dame.
