Bishop Wilkinson Trust
Our Vision
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.
Our Values
Develop spirituality
We believe that a knowledge of and a personal relationship with Christ brings meaning and direction to life.
Act with justice, respect and dignity
We believe that every member of our diverse community is created in God’s image and therefore we act with respect and show dignity, ensuring that all are treated with fairness, justice and equity. We work fervently to dispel inequality and pay special attention to those most in need.
Foster a sense of vocation
We believe that all members of our Trust should be supported to recognise their own purpose and to develop a sense of how they are called to contribute to society.
Promote educational excellence
We believe that each person should be equipped to excel through the highest quality learning opportunities and richest wider-school experiences.
Form high aspirations
We believe that every member of our Trust community should have the highest expectations of themselves and others and should be equipped with the knowledge and skills to achieve greatly.
Celebrate community
We believe that our schools promote truth, honesty, reconciliation, resilience and integrity in their own context, but together create strength, optimism and excellence across the Trust.
Support exceptional leadership
We believe that the best leadership in Catholic Schools raises the work of the staff and the attainment of young people to levels that exceed expectations through relentless focus, effective management skills, profound empathy, sustained energy and robust optimism, underpinned by wide professional knowledge founded on innovative research.
