Parents, Children and Teachers in Partnership
PACT Educational Trust was founded by a group of Catholic parents and educators. The aim is to establish schools and support families with a deep desire for their children to grow into adults of integrity, and committed to living their lives by Christian principles. They would also be people who, amongst the exhilarating and challenging opportunities that the new Millennium presents, are resolved to be the faithful spouses, exemplary citizens and inspirational leaders that society needs. This is achieved through the twin pillars of academic excellence and character development.
The Trust already has two highly successful mixed prep schools: Oakwood School in Purley, which opened with 17 children in 1996, and Oliver House in Balham, which opened in 2004. Both now have over 180 pupils enrolled.

Funding the future
We are opening two new independent senior schools in September 2013, The Laurels School for girls in Clapham and The Cedars School for boys in South Croydon.
We have a fundraising target of £5m over the next three years, both to fund the purchase and development of the two school buildings and to build up a substantial bursary fund to enable families who may otherwise not be able to take advantage of everything these schools have to offer.
