London
We are delighted to introduce you to the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education.
The SDBE is proud to support 104 schools and academies, colleges and
universities across our diverse and vibrant Diocese. Church schools are for
everyone. Our vision for education in our schools and academies, colleges and
universities reflects the wider Anglican concern for the well-being of everyone
entrusted to our care. The outworking of our Christian faith, identity and ethos
is to serve the needs of young people and their families in the community as a
whole. This has been the commitment of our Church Schools since their
foundation, and will continue to be so, by God’s Grace, into a hopeful future.
From their offices nearby Southwark Cathedral the superb SDBE staff team are
dedicated to providing excellent training, professional advice, resources,
guidance and pastoral support. We aim to ensure that our school leaders,
governors and chaplains are equipped to give the 42,000 young people in our care
the best possible education and life chances. SIAMS and OFSTED inspection
outcomes place us as one of the highest performing Diocesan Boards of Education
nationally, with our diocesan schools’ performance consistently above national
averages. Please explore our site to learn more about the exciting new
initiatives taking place in schools across the Diocese, and the opportunities
for you to be a part of our diocesan family of schools. We encourage all of us
to pray daily for the well-being and development of children and young people
throughout South London and East Surrey, including those in our educational
establishments.
