Headteachers and Governors may be interested to read the Academisation Report produced by the Education Service over the summer. Its purpose is to outline the progress being made towards fulfilment of the Bishop’s vision for his schools, to highlight the wider challenges our schools are facing, to explore ways in which our Trusts are helping us navigate these challenges, and to offer a candid reflection on both the opportunities and challenges arising from the new educational contexts in which we operate.

The document has been circulated internally to the Diocesan Trustees and the Board of Education and Formation. We are now pleased to share it with the wider school community and warmly invite your feedback.
