About Us

United in mission, inspired by faith, driven by excellence.

Plymouth CAST is a family of 34 Catholic schools and one nursery, working together across Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset. As part of the Diocese of Plymouth, we are committed to delivering high-quality Catholic education that empowers every child to flourish and live a life rooted in faith, integrity, and ambition.

Nurturing agents of change.

Our purpose is to inspire and equip children with the tools to grow academically, socially and spiritually. By fostering a love of learning, compassion for others and a drive for justice, we aim to develop individuals who contribute meaningfully to the common good.

Our work is therefore, shaped by the core values of:

  • Collaboration: working together as one Trust to achieve greater outcomes for all our pupils
  • Ambition: driving standards and creating opportunities for every child to reach their potential
  • Stewardship: caring for our schools, resources and environment with integrity and foresight
  • Trust: leading with authenticity, openness and compassion in everything we do.

Ensuring we support each child’s whole development, we are proud to provide our students with a faith-centred education that nurtures their spiritual, emotional and academic growth through Gospel-inspired teaching. We also work closely with our families, colleagues and local partners to create one collaborative community through which resources, values and ambitions can be shared, and in which each child feels supported and inspired.
