Our 138 Church of England schools educate thousands of pupils each day. It's our priviledge to lead, equip and encourage them as we serve and support education across our diverse diocese in Essex and East London.
Our commitment is for children and young people to flourish and have a life-enhancing encounter with the Christian faith and Jesus Christ.
The Chelmsford Diocese Board of Education is dedicated to providing excellent training, advice and resources to our whole family of schools and their leaders, teachers, support staff, governors and chaplains.
We are here to support our schools in every aspect of school life. This includes school inspections, Christian Vision, RE, Collective Worship, buildings and estate management and much more.
Effective schools need good governing bodies. The Diocese is committed to providing support, training and resources to enable governing bodies, particularly with the specific task of leading a Church school.
