The Diocese has fantastic state-funded Catholic primary schools, ensuring that children can benefit from vital initial teaching during the formative years of each pupil.

Each school is a Catholic community in which Gospel values are taught and lived out by daily experience.
Catholic schools are central to the Church’s mission in education, to place Christ and the teaching of the Catholic Church at the centre of people’s lives.

Our state-funded schools are free and do not require fees.

The four model policies and SIFs for schools to choose provide consistency in format and content across all schools which helps parents when applying for schools for their children.

All schools are required to comply with the DfE's School Admissions Code and School Admission Appeals Code, the purpose of which is to ensure that all school places for maintained schools and academies are allocated and offered in an open and fair way, and that the appeals process that is followed if parents do not get a place is fair and robust.
