Holy Cross Catholic MAC

What Holy Cross Catholic MAC does

Holy Cross Catholic Multi-Academy Company (MAC) is a state-funded educational trust registered in England (Company Number 12084073) that operates seven Catholic schools in Coventry under the oversight of the Diocese of Coventry. Formed in September 2019, the MAC consolidates five primary schools (Christ The King, St Augustine's, St Elizabeth's, St John Vianney, and St Thomas More) and two secondary schools (Bishop Ullathorne and Cardinal Newman), serving over 4,000 pupils with a staff of more than 450. The central headquarters is located c/o St Augustine Catholic Primary School in Radford, Coventry.

The organization operates as a non-profit Multi-Academy Company under UK Academy Trust regulations, receiving its primary revenue through government education funding from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). It does not charge tuition fees. Internal coordination across the seven schools is managed through CrossNet, a SharePoint-based internal communications and document management platform. Outreach to prospective families is conducted via the MAC's official website (hccmac.co.uk), MAC newsletters, individual school websites, and referrals through the Diocese of Coventry Catholic network.

The MAC's go-to-market motion is community-led, leveraging its Catholic diocese affiliation and established reputation — all seven schools are described as "very popular and highly successful" — to attract families in Coventry seeking faith-based education. Governance is provided by a Board of Directors operating under formal Articles of Association, with the Diocese of Coventry providing religious authority and institutional support. The organization has no disclosed external private equity or venture capital ownership.
