Re: Catholic Academy Trust Consultation

As you may recall from our last communication, the governors of the Federation of St. Peter’s & St. Gildas’ Cathoic Infant & Junior Schools have taken the decision to initiate the consultation process regarding the acquisition of academy status and joining a Catholic Academy Trust with our partner Catholic schools in the Deanery.

Consultation, opens today – Monday 30th September and closes on Friday 25th October 2024.

A consultation does not mean we have taken a final decision to convert to an Academy, but that we wish to seek the views of all our community to inform the final decision. To support you in developing your knowledge and understanding of what is involved in becoming an academy we have prepared a questions and answers consultation leaflet which will be available form today on the school’s website at –

Included with this letter is a response sheet / questionnaire which we strongly encourage you to complete and return to us by 25^th October in order that your opinions are considered as part of the consultation process.

You can also email this back to CATConsultation@st-gildas.haringey.sch.uk or complete the online survey –

If you would like a hard copy of anything please contact the school office via admin@st-gildas.haringey.sch.uk.  Please also return any completed hard copies of the response sheet / questionnaire to the school office and by the deadline stated above.

To further support your participation in the consultation we invite you to attend an information session with school leaders and governors.  The meeting will include a presentation about what joining the Catholic Academy Trust would mean for the school, and it is another opportunity to ask questions.

We anticipate the meeting will last for approximately 60 minutes, commencing at 6pm on Wednesday 9^th October 2024.

We look forward to speaking with you at the meeting and to receiving your comments.

Yours sincerely,

Frances Booker                                               Peter O’Shannessy
