Church Schools

We have 15 schools in our Diocese which connect directly with the children and families within the communities in which they are located. These schools provide education within a Christian ethos and aim to do all they can to inspire their students to grow up as responsible citizens who live according to Gospel values.

Dr Annette Daly, the Diocesan Director for Education, supports and advises the work of the schools. Annette can be contacted by email or by calling 01633 267490.
