Schools

The Diocese offers guidance as to how Catholic schools should conduct themselves so as to live out the vision we have for educating our young people. This vision is contained in the document called Our Catholic Schools. Guidance documents explain how the diocese looks for schools to act in terms of:

  • building and sustaining Catholic ethos and life in the schools
  • promoting spiritual, moral social and cultural development in the Catholic tradition
  • delivering the religious education curriculum
  • organising the school as an institution especially as regards admission of pupils and appointment of staff
  • maintaining and developing the buildings and resources of the school
  • how a school evaluates its own worth as a Catholic school and how this is inspected and validated
