One of the most important decisions parents make is the school they choose for their child. The culture and character of a school contributes significantly to shaping them as a person and, as a child’s first and most important educator, every parent should be assured that their chosen school will be a place where their child can flourish.

The best schools not only teach pupils important curriculum subjects but also instil values such as confidence, respect, gratitude, joy, teamwork and personal responsibility. They also recognise and celebrate each child’s uniqueness.

Catholic schools provide a rounded education and are the perfect choice for parents and families who want their child to be part of a nurturing community. Aspirations for all pupils are high. Pastoral and academic support for every pupil is a priority and consequently, students thrive and develop skills that they need to be successful citizens. Wider sporting, cultural and spiritual opportunities ensure that students enjoy school life and develop a healthy self-esteem. If you want your child to learn in a community that is supportive and optimistic, and where every person is well-known, a Catholic school is an excellent choice.

Catholic schools are not only for Catholic families. Our schools welcome all families, and, in fact, 35% of pupils and students enrolled in Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust schools are non-Catholic.

All pupils benefit from the moral values and civic responsibility they learn from the example of their teachers, who serve as positive role models. Our staff are innovative, building a curriculum underpinned by the best research. Our schools work closely together, with shared values and deep commitment to every child and their family, forming strong links and practical approaches to aid effective transition. In line with our admissions policies, pupils from our primary schools, both Catholic and non-Catholic, are prioritised at our secondary schools, giving assurances for the future, and peace of mind for families. Through our Trust structure, we therefore provide an education pathway for all children from

the age of 3 to 18, ensuring continuity of care throughout each phase of education.

Here at Bishop Wilkinson our vision is simple; to enable all to flourish. We nurture each person through loving relationships and rich daily experiences. We educate the whole person- spiritually, intellectually, morally, physically, socially and emotionally- so that everyone fulfils their academic potential, aspires highly and is optimistically ambitious. We unlock ability and talents so that all can flourish and make a valued contribution to the world.

The Bishop Wilkinson Family of Schools – enabling all to flourish.
