Welcome from Emmaus Catholic Multi Academy Company
Welcome from Emmaus Catholic MAC
Emmaus Catholic MAC is a Multi Academy Company under the Archdiocese of Birmingham. Emmaus Catholic MAC was first formed in October 2014, at which time it was known as St Nicholas Owen Catholic Multi Academy Company.
In February 2021, following a merger with an existing Multi Academy Company, Emmaus Catholic MAC became a larger MAC of ten schools, spanning four different Local Authorities: Birmingham, Dudley, Sandwell and Worcestershire.
From 1 September 2024, the Emmaus family expanded to a MAC of fourteen schools, with four Worcestershire-based Catholic primary schools joining us.
Our schools are:
Our Motto: Our journey with Christ
- a journey of encounter and accompaniment with our Lord.
- a journey of faith, learning, achievement, personal growth and service at the heart of our local communities.
- we are fully committed to supporting our young people and staff to achieve their personal best, enabling them to flourish and SHINE.
Our Mission
In September 2025, we aligned our mission with that of the Birmingham Diocesan Education Service: Forming Christ-centred pilgrims of hope with kind hearts, questioning minds, a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for justice.
Our mission is our WHY, our purpose, and it fits perfectly with our MAC motto where just like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we are all on a journey of accompaniment and encounter with our Lord. It is a pilgrimage of faith, hope, learning, achievement, personal growth and service at the heart of our communities.
We are confident that by living out our mission, our MAC and all its members will flourish and SHINE in line with our MAC values.
Values
Serving Together
We believe that by working and serving together as a family of schools, we can achieve more, by accelerating school improvement, excellence across our schools and wider organisation, thus creating more opportunities for lifelong success for our young people.
We recognise the Christian call to serve within our schools and wider communities. By caring for others and putting their needs first, we acknowledge the gifts God has given us and recognise Christ in those we meet.
We will work with others beyond our network to create capacity in the sector to benefit more young people and communities.
High Expectations
We maintain High Expectations in all we do, and are ambitious for ourselves, our communities and our environment. We accept nothing but the best.
Inclusion
We care deeply about every member of our community and make every effort to ensure a deep sense of belonging. We work hard to promote inclusion, remove disadvantage and reject discrimination to create equity of opportunity.
Nurturing Faith
We are committed to an ethos in which the Gospel message is proclaimed, community in Christ experienced, service to each other and the wider world community is recognised, and thanksgiving and worship of our God is nurtured.
Excellence
Through excellent leadership, teaching and outcomes in every school, we support all young people to achieve their potential.
