St Wilfrid's Catholic Academy

At St Wilfrid's Catholic Academy, we are a thriving primary school community that is deeply rooted in our Catholic faith and values. Our mission statement, "Love One Another As I Have Loved You," is at the heart of everything we do, guiding us to build a caring and supportive environment where each child can flourish.

Ethos and Approach

As an academy, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of education and personal development for all our pupils. We believe in nurturing the whole child, fostering academic excellence, and encouraging each individual to grow in their faith, character, and talents.

Our curriculum is designed to challenge and inspire, with a strong focus on core subjects like English and mathematics, as well as a rich programme of creative arts, humanities, and physical education. We strive to create a learning environment that is engaging, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of our diverse pupil community.

A Thriving Catholic Community

At the core of our school is a deep sense of community, rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church. Our school community is a vibrant and welcoming one, where parents, carers, and the local parish work together to support our pupils' growth and development. We encourage families to get involved in school life, whether through our active Parent-Teacher Association, volunteering opportunities, or attending our regular community events and celebrations.

We are part of St Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Multi Academy Trust which is a growing family of 63 schools across the Archdiocese of Birmingham, united by a shared mission to deliver excellent Catholic education that transforms lives.

We are inspired by St Gabriel the Archangel and guided by five values that shape our culture: Confidence & Humility, Peace & Courage, Faith in the Impossible, Listening with Love and Service Beyond Self. These values drive our commitment to helping every pupil and colleague flourish within our Trust.
