An amazing day of great football at the first GSCT football tournament today! Six trust schools played their hearts out leading to an exciting final between St Vincent’s and St Teresa’s. St Vincent’s came out on top with 2-0 win. Well done and thank you to all the teams and staff involved today.

Huge excitement today at St Teresa’s in Dagenham as they prepare for the first ‘GSCT Football Tournament’. Good luck to all teams - updates on the results later!

A wonderful joint retreat to Aylesford Priory for Palmer Academy and St Aidan’s Primary Academy pupils. Sharing time and prayers together as part of The Good Shepherd Catholic Trust.

An exciting day ahead in June with St Teresa’s hosting the first GSCT football tournament for our trust schools!

There are still some Year 7 pupil places available for September 2025 at the ‘Outstanding Catholic School’ (Nov 2024) Palmer Catholic Academy in Ilford. Contact the school to be part of this wonderful school community from September.

Wishing all of our school leaders, staff and pupils a well deserved half term break!

The first month finished already in the special Jubilee Year - Pilgrims of Hope - for our schools. A year of deepening our faith and building a better world for all in the GSCT.

Wishing all school staff, pupils and families a very happy and peaceful Christmas. Enjoy time together and a well-deserved break. Looking forward to another fantastic year in 2025!

Huge congratulations to the Palmer Catholic Academy staff, pupils and community. An 'outstanding' judgement in all areas of their Catholic School Inspection. An amazing Catholic community! Palmer are now the fifth GSCT school to be recognised as outstanding in their Catholic School Inspection.
