History

edit

The diocese was created on 20 December 1878, when the then Diocese of Beverley, which covered the whole of Yorkshire, was divided into the Diocese of Middlesbrough, covering the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire and those parishes in the City of York to the north of the River Ouse, and the Diocese of Leeds, covering the West Riding of Yorkshire and those parishes in the City of York to the south of the River Ouse. In 1982 the two York parishes south of the River Ouse were ceded to the Diocese of Middlesbrough to unite the City of York under one bishop. The parish of Howden was transferred from Middlesbrough to the Leeds diocese in 2004.

Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy trust (NPCAT) is a multi-academy trust (MAT) that operates thirty-eight schools (five secondary schools and thirty-two primary schools) across the Roman Catholic Diocese of Middlesbrough. It is an exempt charity, regulated by the Department for Education.[2][3]

In 2022, NPCAT launched a football academy to cater for rising talent in Teesside, North Yorkshire and the City of York.

Upon the dissolving of Saint Margaret Clitherow Catholic Academy Trust, NPCAT gained schools in the central vicariate of the diocese which had previously administered by SMCCAT.

The trust was founded in 2018, its headquarters are on the site of Trinity Catholic College, Middlesbrough.[4][5]
