Our Vision
Church schools serving their communities through excellence, exploration and encouragement within the love of God.
The Diocese of Lincoln is called to faithful worship, confident discipleship and joyful service and our church schools bear witness to our belief that that every child is made in the image of God and loved by Him. They were founded for the good of their local communities so that children can be educated through the values and stories of Christianity.
Our Aims
We will:
- Transform the chances of individual pupils
- Use the strength within diocesan schools across the diocese
- Be fully inclusive to all
- Be sustainable through the expertise within the organisation, through partnership with our current good or
- better schools and external partners
- Bring strength, motivation and purpose through the belief that every child should be enabled to be all that
- God intended
- Be distinctive in character relevant to the context
