PFMAC Scheme of Delegation

The Pope Francis Catholic Multi Academy Company is the family of Catholic schools in Oxfordshire, who work together to promote the teaching of Christ and the Catholic faith.
We believe each person is a unique creation made in the image of and likeness of God, called by name, with a special vocation and gifts to bring to the world.  We seek to develop these talents in everyone by being a beacon for Catholic education in Oxfordshire.
Our key principles are solidarity (we are all responsible for each other) and ‘subsidiarity’ (allowing people to be able to contribute to decision-making at all levels).
This is reflected in the following expectations:
• The PFMAC Directors and all staff and Governors at all schools within the PFMAC take collective responsibility for all our children.
•  Schools and the PFMAC Directors will work in partnership with families and parishes to promote strong, positive links within the wider community.
•  All MACs in the Archdiocese of Birmingham will work together with the Diocesan Education Service (DES) to ensure that best practice is available to all and where support is needed it is readily available, creating an environment where schools work together for mutual support and the benefit of all our children.
• No individual school will be left in a vulnerable position.
•  Unity will be maintained across the Archdiocese of Birmingham under the authority and direction of the Archbishop and those acting on his behalf, and all schools will strive to provide the best possible Catholic education for all children.
