The trust currently includes:

Bristol Cathedral Choir School Cathedral Primary School Headley Park Primary School Victoria Park Primary School Stoke Park Primary School
Trinity Academy  St Katherine's Hotwells Primary School St Werburgh's Primary School 

At CST we are unapologetic in our pursuit of excellence for the people and communities we serve. With a passion for learning within and beyond our classrooms, as well as a deep commitment to music and the creative arts, every child and member of staff is empowered to realise their full potential as learners, people and agents of positive change. 

At CST we are Creative, Collaborative and Reflective.

Our core values are derived from Christian teachings and are representative of all faiths. Cathedral Schools Trust believes that children will benefit if they learn reverence for one another and for the wider world. The trust welcomes children of all faiths and none.

The trust hopes to create a community of learning that embraces teachers, students and their families, who learn from one another. Strong and trusting relationships are at the heart of good education. The trust values diversity and encourages excellence. We hope that students will be full of hope and a force for good in the world. Music will play an important role in the life of our schools, enhancing the sense of community via performance and celebration. The focus will be on working in partnership, with a rigorous but collegiate approach to support and challenge school leaders, staff and governors. The MAT will be fully inclusive and will include both non-faith community schools and Church of England schools. It will support and build leadership and management capacity, and it will value and encourage the continual professional learning of staff. We will always seek to improve.

Bristol Cathedral Choir School (BCCS) 

BCCS

BCCS is Bristol’s oldest school, tracing its origins back to the establishment of St Augustine’s Abbey in the 12th century, and possibly even earlier. In September 2008, it became an 11-18 co-educational Academy, specialising in Music and Mathematics. Since then, it has consistently been Bristol’s most over-subscribed secondary school.

Following the consultation during 2018/19, BCCS governors agreed to name Cathedral Primary School as a feeder school. For further information please see the Admissions page of our website.

Cathedral Primary School children will benefit substantially from links with the Academy. They will have access to many BCCS facilities, including the modern dining hall in the Cresswell Centre, outdoor play areas and the senior school’s state-of-the-art music centre. In addition, BCCS staff will often be on hand to provide specialist subject expertise and we will be encouraging some students in the secondary school to work with the primary children. The primary school will nonetheless be a separate school, with contact between senior and primary school pupils strictly limited for safety and safeguarding reasons, including at break times and lunch time.
