During the academic year 2024-25, the governing body of St Alban & St Stephen Catholic Primary School & Nursery applied to become an academy under the Academies Act and proposed to join The All Saints Catholic Academy Trust.

Consultation Letter for Parents April 2025
After carrying out extensive due diligence and considering all of the evidence available, including the responses to the Consultations (now closed), the Governors of St Alban & St Stephen Catholic Primary School & Nursery have concluded that conversion to academy status and joining the Academy Trust will be in the best interests of our School. We believe that becoming part of the wider Catholic community of ASCAT schools will provide us with many benefits and will offer protection and support for the many challenges facing education today.
We are excited to continue to grow and learn together as a school community and as part of the ASCAT family of schools.
