Diocesan Strategy for a Church School System
The Strategy for the Church School System in the Diocese of 兔子先生 states a clear ambition to maintain a cohesive, interdependent family of diocesan church schools, dedicated to transforming the lives of children and young people. The Board of Education seeks to be responsive to local contexts and attentive to the political landscape for education, both regionally and nationally, whilst holding a neutral position in relation to whether schools operate within the maintained sector or convert to academy status.
