Our Trust

St Michael’s is proud to be part of the Birmingham Diocesan Multi Academy Trust family.

Birmingham Diocesan Multi-Academy Trust is a West Midlands based multi-academy trust committed to providing high quality education for all the children in our schools through collaboration, challenge and targeted support.

The Birmingham Diocesan Multi-Academy Trust (BDMAT) recognises that the future for schools lies in formal collaborations; schools working together, in partnership, to offer life in all its fullness for the young people who attend them.

Church schools have a very distinctive purpose: Education is taught in an environment where there is a set of values and ways of behaving that stem from and express the Christian foundation of the school. Our schools are about providing an education within a Christian framework for children of the local community of any faith or none. Our Trust seeks to provide a place where church schools and non-church schools who support our philosophy can continue to provide high quality education, knowing that their distinctive ethos will be protected into the future.

Our Vision

Clothed in LOVE (Colossians 3:14) we are a united family of schools serving our communities and helping ALL to flourish.

Our Values

We all need LOVE, HOPE & WISDOM. These are the values which unite our community of Church and non-Church schools, holding children and staff at the heart of all we do.

Love –  A selfless and unconditional commitment to action resulting in service and compassion towards others.
Hope – We have a sense of confidence in the future informed by the power of love and the purposes of God.
Wisdom –We see this as knowledge mixed with compassion and presented in a manner that helps others to heal and grow. In other words, wisdom is knowledge in the service of others.

Our Mission

To ensure a culture of continuous learning, trusting our empowered leaders to be open and generous. Together we build schools of aspiration and belonging so that all our communities can flourish.

The Roots of our Vision and Values

Clothed in love, as urged by Paul in Colossians 3:14—“Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony”—we are a united family of schools rooted in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

We believe that God’s love is not only the foundation of our identity but the thread that weaves through every relationship, decision, and act of service. As a Christian trust, we are called to model the love of God in action: inclusive, sacrificial, and transformative.

Our unity is grounded in the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12–27), where each part, child, staff member and school, has its own unique place. Together, we form one community— diverse in many ways, but united in worth, purpose, and hope.

We exist to serve—following the example of Jesus, “who came not to be served but to serve” (Mark 10:45). We are committed to supporting our children, families, and wider communities, especially the vulnerable, with humility, generosity, and justice.Through nurturing wisdom, promoting hope, and living out love, we seek the flourishing of every individual. Our vision is shaped by John 10:10, where Jesus promises “life in all its fullness”—academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially.
