THE GOOD SHEPHERD CATHOLIC TRUST
Welcome to our Catholic Trust
Welcome to The Good Shepherd Catholic Multi-Academy Trust
Our Catholic Trust, situated in the Diocese of Brentwood, consists of seven primary academies and one secondary academy which are located in Barking, Dagenham and Redbridge. Our vision is the provision and development of a world-class community of schools, providing the highest possible care, support, opportunities and outcomes for every child. Pupils are cherished for who they are, as much as for what they achieve and all achievements are celebrated.
