CEO Welcome

Welcome from the CEO

It is a delight and a privilege to welcome you to our website.

Romero is a rapidly growing Catholic Academy Trust covering schools of the Diocese of Salford in Blackburn with Darwen, Calderdale and Lancashire. We currently have twelve primary and four secondary schools and over the course of the next few years will fulfil Bishop John Arnold’s vision that by 2030 every school in the diocese will be part of a Catholic Academy Trust

Our mission is inspired by our patron, St Oscar Romero, as we are called to work together to ‘aspire not to have more, but to be more’. We do so based on the principles of Catholic Social Teaching and our values: Faith, Service, Aspiration and Collaboration.

Our values can be summarised as:

Faith: to nurture our belief in God.

Service: to live out the responsibilities of our faith by serving others.

Aspiration: to aspire to fulfil the potential of each individual, created uniquely in the image of God.

Collaboration: to work collaboratively; sharing and fostering the strengths and expertise of all.

I hope that you will find the information on the website helpful. Please do contact us if you cannot find what you are looking for.
