Bishop Hogarth Catholic Education Trust is a family of schools consisting of 30 Catholic primaries and 5 secondaries, serving the communities of Darlington, County Durham, Stockton and Hartlepool.
The aim of Bishop Hogarth Catholic Education Trust is to provide a practical and moral purpose to the furthering of education, giving strength and a collective responsibility for the educational welfare of pupils in our schools. Pupils are the centre of all decision making and Christ is at the heart of our moral purpose.
Our Trust shapes its collaboration through the fundamental principles of Catholic Social Teaching. School leaders work together for the common good, all pupils feel safe, welcomed and supported with every possible opportunity and staff benefit from a collective approach that respects and values professional agency.
Carmel Sixth Form students and staff have completed an inspiring and transformative mission to Peru as part of Project Peru 2026. Travelling from the UK to the Amazonian city of Iquitos via São Paulo and Lima, the group embarked on an unforgettable journey centred on service, faith, cultural exchange and personal development. Over the course of the trip, students embraced opportunities to support local communities, experience a new culture and live out the values at the heart of Catholic education.
As we reach the end of another successful academic year, we are proud to celebrate the achievements, experiences and successes of pupils and staff across our Trust. The past two terms have been filled with inspiring learning opportunities, creative projects, sporting achievements, educational visits, performances, community initiatives and much more.
Students across Bishop Hogarth Catholic Education Trust wowed audiences last week with three outstanding musical theatre productions, showcasing exceptional talent, dedication and creativity both on stage and behind the scenes.

All children have access to exciting experiences such as trips abroad through the Turing Scheme, participation in athletic events, and engaging Modern Foreign Language days. We also encourage pupil voice through involvement in our Trust-wide Pupil Parliament, ensuring every child has the chance to develop new skills, build confidence, and create lasting memories.
