What we do
Educating in faith
The Education Service supports Catholic schools and colleges across the Diocese of Lancaster in their mission to provide excellent education rooted in faith. It works with headteachers, governors, and staff to promote Catholic ethos, ensure high standards, and support leadership development. The service also oversees the Religious Education curriculum, manages governance matters, and acts as a point of liaison with national education bodies and local authorities. Its goal is to help every school thrive as a community of faith and learning.
