Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Academy Trust is a multi-academy trust in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Shrewsbury. We have a shared vision, united in love, service and faith with Jesus Christ at the centre of all that we do, inspiring our pursuit of excellence so that our schools can work together to improve the outcomes, experiences and future life chances of our children and young people.

Formed in 2014 as Holy Family of Nazareth Catholic Academy Trust, we were renamed in 2023 to Our Lady Help of Christians, the patron saint of the Diocese of Shrewsbury. On September 1st 2025 we begin the academic year as a family of fifteen schools

Following the Diocese of Shrewsbury's vision for Catholic education we will soon welcome all the schools from the deaneries of Central Cheshire, Ellesmere Port & Chester, Shrewsbury & West Shropshire, Telford & East Shropshire.
