The Education Service exists to help the Bishop in serving the Church’s mission to education across the Diocese. It addresses current and future needs, helps determine diocesan education policy and supports schools and parishes in this work.  The Service seeks to work collaboratively with everyone involved in the Church’s work in education. 

The Diocese supports a range of courses, materials and support for governors, senior leaders, teachers, and parishioners. This includes long courses, such as the Catholic Certificate in Religious Studies (CCRS) and training for current and potential leaders and the network of catechists.

The service liaises with and consults the Welsh Assembly Government, Local Authorities, Catholic Education Service (CES) and other external groups to protect, manage and promote Catholic education throughout the Diocese and beyond.
