X Academies

We aspire to create vibrant communities of faith in which our children can learn and thrive. The partnership between home, school and parish will be strong. All staff, senior leaders, governors and directors in our families of schools and multi academies; our parents and carers, students and alumni; and our parish priests and parish communities across the Archdiocese of Birmingham as well as the archdiocesan team members, Multi Academy Members, Trustees and His Grace will work together co-responsibly with a range of wider partners and civic organisations to achieve this. The Diocesan Education Service will ensure its work fully supports this vision and strategy.

Diocesan Vision and Multi Academy Strategy

"The Trustees of the Archdiocese have requested that all schools under the Diocesan Trust Deed work towards becoming an academy. This means that the Archdiocese sees the long term future of its schools as forming and being part of a multi academy company with other Catholic schools in their local area."

Our Current Multi Academy Families of Schools

Across the diocese there are currently 150 schools within Our Families of Schools

Our Vision for Our Multi Academy Families of Schools

All 233 schools across the Archdiocese of Birmingham being part of 13 Multi Academy Families of Schools .
