The Newman Catholic Collegiate is a Catholic multi-academy based in the North Staffordshire Deanery, UK. It was formed in 2013 and consists of St Margaret Ward Catholic Academy and its eight associated Catholic primary academies. The community, though diverse, is bound together by their shared vision and values, and inspired by the example of their patron, St John Henry Newman. The nine schools work together to further the mission of the church in partnership with local parishes and to support parents in their responsibilities as the first and best teachers of their children in the faith. The collegiate motto "Growing together for life" reflects their aspiration to provide the best intellectual, spiritual, and moral formation for all pupils, as they grow in the knowledge and love of God, their neighbor, and themselves. The Catholic faith is central to their life, vision, and identity.
