Le Chéile Schools Trust CLG

Le Chéile Schools Trust Company Limited By Guarantee is a collaborative education trust that brings together the schools of fifteen Irish religious congregations. Its core purpose is to carry out the legal, financial and inspirational trusteeship that was previously undertaken by each congregation individually, ensuring a unified, forward-looking commitment to Catholic education throughout the country.

The Trust provides a range of support services for its member schools, including governance guidance, leadership development programmes for aspiring, middle and senior leaders, and a suite of resources for congregations, teachers and students. Through initiatives such as the quarterly *Le Chéile Connects* newsletter, Le Chéile Day celebrations, Advent "Space for Grace" reflections and a library of induction and training videos, the Trust fosters a vibrant community of practice and shared learning.

Based in Dublin, Le Chéile Schools Trust serves Catholic schools across Ireland, helping them to uphold their ethos, enhance professional development and celebrate their rich congregational heritage. Its work underpins a network of schools that are both rooted in tradition and equipped for the challenges of modern education.
