The DBE team are very much looking forward to continuing our work with your school, providing the advice, guidance, resources and support in enabling you, along with your pupils and staff to flourish, as a valued member of our family of 115 church schools in the Diocese of Chester. We have compiled a short video message to reflect this, as well as recognition for all that you do as church schools, being beacons of light and hope for your pupils, families and local community. 

Family of Schools’ visit

Our commitment to you, and a desire to strengthen the partnership between your school and the DBE, is reflected in a key change to our Family of Schools membership for 2023-24. This year, you will receive a dedicated Family of School visit from one of the DBE officers, that is tailored around the needs of your school as a church school.
