The Gaudete Trust
The mission of the Gaudete Trust is to support a family of schools and colleges which is animated by the distinctive charisms of the founding Religious Orders and shares a vision rooted in the values of the gospel.
Welcome to
The Gaudete Trust
On behalf of the Education Team, Trustees and Members I am delighted to welcome you to the Gaudete Trust Website.
We are a growing Catholic Trust established by five religious orders in England and Wales.
The Gaudete Trust administers the educational trusteeship of five Religious Orders. It was established in 2023 following a three-year collaborative venture steered by a working group of the National Association of Religious Orders in Education (ROE). It is a ground breaking initiative in the Catholic Church in England that ensures that Catholic Education will continue to be enriched by the rich heritage of Religious Orders.
The Gaudete Trust offers a distinctive Catholic education animated by the charism and values of the Religious Orders and the Gaudete Vision of Education. The Trust’s way of working is modelled on the synodal approach which characterised its development phase. It is committed to listening carefully to the voices of its members and responding creatively to their different needs.
Within our website you can access key information about our Trust and our schools. As a Trust we are unique in our vision and mission and are delighted that the Holy Spirit is working in us and through us for the greater Glory.
