The Trust was established in 2017 by Birmingham Diocesan Board of Education, which has a strong track record of providing excellent educational provision and achieving rapid school improvement across all phases. The trust currently has 17 schools, all primary, spread across three local authority areas;
Birmingham City (9 schools), Warwickshire (6 schools) and Solihull (2 schools). Our plan is to increase initially to twenty schools including Christ Church Secondary Academy which opened for students September 2021.
The vision of the Trust is to ensure pupils have ‘life in all its fullness’; providing an education that will offer a wide range of opportunities and experiences within a Christian framework.
