Schools and Admissions within the Diocese of Plymouth

Our diocesan schools support children and families to live, love and learn together with Christ at the centre of all that is done. With Christ at the centre, our schools deliver worship and liturgy which is faithful to the Church’s teaching and is supportive of an inclusive, caring community. Our mission is to prepare our children to take their place in society with a relationship with Christ influencing their choices and being their inspiration.

There are 37 schools within the diocese of Plymouth.

Spanning Cornwall, Devon and Dorset the diocese has one Catholic Multi Academy Trust, Plymouth CAST.
