Our Church Schools

The Diocesan Board of Education is responsible for 83 Church of England schools and academies across the diocese.

Church of England Schools

Church schools are denominational schools with a Christian religious character, vision and ethos.

Church schools are Christian communities where pupils and staff participate in daily acts of collective worship and work in close partnership with their local churches.

Church schools are state-funded schools which are either maintained by the Local Authority and the Diocese or operated by Church of England academy trusts.
