A conviction that leaders should strive for the success of all schools and their students, whatever their faith.
A commitment to work collaboratively with other schools and multi academies to help all in their communities, particularly the most vulnerable, to develop themselves and fulfil their individual vocation.
Displaying this through deeds not just words.
...but where they are on that journey is less important. We firmly believe that we are all on a continual process of understanding our roles as Christ-centered servant leaders. It is an ongoing process. For our CSELs, we are looking for committed and practising Catholics who live by their faith and have a desire to share it with others in their professional work.
