St Gabriel the Archangel CMAT

 

St Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Multi-Academy Trust
We are a newly formed family of 64 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Birmingham, part of a wider community of MATs united in one mission:
Forming pilgrims of hope with kind hearts, questioning minds, a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for justice.
Rooted in the witness of St Gabriel the Archangel, God’s messenger of Good News, we share his call to bring hope, courage and clarity to the children, families and communities entrusted to our care. His words – “Do not be afraid” – guide us as we look to the future with faith, boldness and high expectations.
This is a time of listening and co-creating – shaping our Trust together with those we serve, drawing on the strength of our size, the richness of our diversity and the gifts of every person.
We invite you to journey with us in faith, hope and love, as we build a flourishing Catholic family for today and tomorrow.
