Romero Catholic Academy Trust

Introducing the partnership

At Romero CAT, we are committed to developing not just schools, but teachers. As one of three multi-academy trusts serving the Diocese of Salford, our mission is rooted in growth—of our children, our staff, and the wider communities we serve.

Our teacher training programme offers aspiring teachers the opportunity to begin and build their careers within a values-driven trust, making a real difference across our schools in Blackburn, Lancashire, and Calderdale. You will be trained by expert tutors and supported in school by skilled mentors, ensuring your practice is grounded in research and evidence from the very start.

Working in schools that serve areas of relative deprivation brings a unique opportunity to make a lasting, tangible impact. At the same time, our Trust is in a dynamic phase of growth and renewal, with high — but achievable — aspirations for pupils and staff alike. We invest heavily in professional development, nurturing “homegrown” talent from initial teacher training through to rewarding, long-term teaching careers.

Joining our programme means becoming part of a wider trust family with the strength and stability to support you at every stage, while also offering the close, personalised mentoring that helps you thrive.

Grow, serve, and flourish as a teacher with us — supported every step of the way.
