Updates, messages, and announcements for our Church School Family of 97 schools and academies across the diocese.

Across our family of schools and academies, we are committed to transforming lives through an education that is both effective and distinctive. Rooted in Christian vision and hope, our schools provide a nurturing environment where every child can flourish. We believe that education is about more than academic achievement; it is about nurturing the whole person, building character, and fostering a sense of belonging. Our dedicated teachers, governors, and clergy work together to create inclusive communities where faith and learning go hand in hand, raising aspirations and celebrating the unique gifts of every pupil.

Regular updates and messages from our board keep our school family connected and informed. From collective worship resources and SMSC guidance to training opportunities for staff and governors, we strive to provide practical support that strengthens leadership and enriches classroom practice. Our seasonal resources for Easter, Christmas, and other key moments in the church year help schools to embed faith across the curriculum. We also share news of events, services, and celebrations that bring our community together, ensuring that good practice is shared and celebrated across all 97 schools.

Effective leadership is at the heart of every thriving school, and we are proud to support headteachers, senior leaders, and aspiring leaders across the diocese. Through regular training, networking events, and dedicated guidance, we help leaders to navigate the challenges of modern education while staying true to their Christian foundation. Whether it is advice on governance, support for staff wellbeing, or resources for leading collective worship, our aim is to equip leaders with the tools they need to inspire their teams and serve their communities with confidence and compassion.

We warmly invite you to explore the life and work of our school family. Our news and events pages are regularly updated with stories of achievement, celebration, and faithful service. From virtual leaver services to training days and community gatherings, there is always something happening across our diocese. If you have questions or would like to know more about how we support our schools, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our team. We look forward to hearing from you and sharing the joy of our shared mission.
