Could joining OLHOC be the right next step for your school? We've grown from four schools in 2014 to a family of 16 today, and we're continuing to grow in line with the Diocese of Shrewsbury's vision for Catholic education across the region. Joining OLHOC doesn't mean losing what makes your school special. It means gaining a wider community of support, shared expertise and a network of colleagues who are all working towards the same goal. Your school keeps its identity, its community and its character. You just don't have to do it alone anymore. We welcome conversations with schools at every stage of the journey, whether you're just starting to explore your options or further down the road. There's no pressure and no obligation. Just a genuine, open conversation about what's possible. Get in touch with our CEO, Mark Mountcastle, at ceo@olhoc.org.uk. We'd love to hear from you. #JoinOurTrust #OLHOC #CatholicMAT #DioceseShrewsbury

We've got some wonderful news to share. St Vincent's Catholic Primary School in Knutsford joined the OLHOC family on 1st May, and we're absolutely delighted to have them with us. St Vincent's brings a warm, close-knit community, a deep commitment to Catholic values and a shared belief that every child deserves an education that nurtures the whole person. As part of our Trust, they'll benefit from the expertise and support of our wider network of schools, while remaining the school their community knows and loves. We're now a family of 16 schools, home to over 4,900 pupils and 707 wonderful members of staff. Every school that joins us makes us stronger. Welcome, St Vincent's. We're so glad you're here. #WelcomeStVincents #OLHOC #CatholicEducation #Knutsford
