Our Trust

At the heart of our Catholic Multi-Academy Trust is a mission that shapes everything we do. Inspired by the witness of St Gabriel the Archangel, we are forming Christ-centred pilgrims of hope with kind hearts, questioning minds, a thirst for knowledge, and a hunger for justice. These characteristics are lived out across our schools, shaping our culture, leadership, teaching, and community.

St Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Multi-Academy Trust is a family of 63 schools, working together to provide high-quality, faith-filled education to every child we serve.

St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, Great Wyrley, is a warm, welcoming, and faith-filled community where every child is valued as a unique individual, created in the image and likeness of God. Rooted in Gospel values and the teachings of the Catholic Church, Christ is at the centre of our daily life and learning.

We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where all pupils are encouraged and supported to flourish. Through high-quality teaching and a broad, balanced curriculum, we promote high expectations and a strong commitment to each child’s spiritual, moral, social, and academic development.

Working in close partnership with parents, carers, the parish, and the wider community, we aim to develop confident, compassionate, and responsible young people. We strive to equip our pupils with the knowledge, skills, and faith they need to make a positive contribution to society and to live out the values of the Gospel in the wider world.
