Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust
Through Christ in partnership, enabling all to flourish
Welcome from the Chair of the Trust Board
At Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust, our mission is clear: enabling all to flourish. Inspired by our Catholic faith and values, we are dedicated to nurturing the whole child – spiritually, academically, and personally – so that every young person is given the opportunity to thrive.
We are proud to be a family of 47 schools, soon to be 48, working in partnership with our Diocese, directors, governors, executive team and school leaders. Together, we are committed to preserving and protecting Catholic education, ensuring its strength, sustainability, and accessibility for generations to come.
Collaboration is at the heart of our Trust. Our schools are supported by a highly skilled essential services team providing expertise in HR, estates, finance, IT, commercial, governance, procurement, and education. This ensures that our school leaders and staff can focus on what matters most – delivering an outstanding education and pastoral care to every child in their care.
Through this shared approach, we strengthen the Catholic pathway from nursery through to secondary school, offering high-quality education grounded in faith and community.
Choosing a BWCET school means joining a wider family committed to excellence, faith, and collaboration. With the support of our Diocese, directors, governors, school leaders, staff, and families, we continue to build a future where all can truly flourish.
With best wishes
Cllr Martin Gannon
Foundation Director
and Chair of the Trust Board
