“Attending the National School of Formation completely transformed my attitude and practice to Catholic leadership. I fully recommend this to all Catholic leaders”

Director, Catholic Primary Partnership
“EducareM has helped us realise real breadth in our curriculum so that we can find each child’s gift as without identifying that gift we can’t realise each child’s infinite potential. As a school we now use Building the Kingdom to celebrate our unique Catholic curriculum. I would recommend EducareM to any school looking to renew and innovate their curriculum”
Mark Holdsworth, Headteacher, Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School, Amersham, Bucks.
“I was fortunate to learn about EducareM and decided to send the leadership from two of the schools I serve on “Christ the Teacher for Senior Leaders”. Before the course, we thought the MAT contained two good Catholic Schools, we taught RE, celebrated Masses, and prayed. However, following the spiritual formation provided by EducareM, we now see that this was ‘not good enough’. Very soon after attending, our schools are now outstanding Catholic Schools, our shared faith is lived through the children we serve and embedded in our curriculum. There is a renewed depth in RE, and we have a truly Catholic Curriculum”
Mr Ian Kendal BEd, MA, NPQH, NPQEL, FCCT
Executive Headteacher and CEO, Our Lady of Fatima Multi Academy Trust, Harlow
“Building the Kingdom has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on our whole school community. It has enabled us to go beyond any ordinary curriculum to engage in something that is highly ambitious and aimed at challenging every one of our children to discover an authentic love of learning for life. More importantly, it inspires our staff and children to reflect and act on issues far beyond the National Curriculum to think deeply about social justice issues, locally, nationally, and globally. Through our BTK initiatives, we have witnessed our children’s oracy skills improve considerably”
Mrs Monica McCarthy, Headteacher, St Vincent’s RC Primary School, Ealing
