The Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust brings together a family of 47, soon to be 48, Catholic schools, serving over 14,000 pupils aged 2-18 across the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle.
Established as part of the Diocesan Academy Policy, the Trust is named after Bishop Wilkinson in recognition of his commitment to Catholic education.
At Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust we recognise that each individual member of our community is created in God’s image with unique talents and abilities.
We nurture each person through loving relationships and rich daily experiences centred on the teachings of Christ.
We believe that humanity is a gift that we receive through others and that our relationships unlock the unique potential in each person. As such, we affirm the dignity of each individual and our values underpin everything we do across every school, with and for each student and member of staff.
Vision & Values
Through Christ, in partnership and with service and witness at the core of all we do, our schools will be centres of excellence. We will educate the whole person so that everyone fulfils their academic potential, aspires highly and is optimistically ambitious. We will unlock ability and talents so that all can flourish and make a valued contribution to the world.
