Our Schools
The Diocesan Education Service exists primarily to advise and act for the Bishop and trustees in all matters relating to schools within the Diocese of Plymouth ensuring his vision and mission is central to all we do. We work as a team to advise and support all schools in the diocese in carrying out their mission as Catholic schools.
We provide information, advice, training and tailored support to all in the Catholic community on the provision of Catholic education and access to it. We work with our stakeholders across the diocese and beyond to ensure our Catholic schools are fully supported to provide the best Catholic education for all pupils.
We believe that every child is a unique and precious gift from God.. Our schools, working in partnership with the home, parish and diocese aim to provide academic excellence in a community of faith to ensure all in our schools can become global citizens rooted in the knowledge of their faith, confident to share their gifts and time.
