Our aim is to establish an environment in which schools can flourish as successful Academies. We believe that Academies benefit from working in a supportive network where professional support and challenge is at the heart. The Church of England schools in our Diocese have always had a commitment to working together; operating as institutions living their Christian mission. We have always tried to work effectively with other organisations: with Local and National Government, and with each other, to create the very best for the children and young people in our care.
