Church schools have their foundation in the Christian Gospel and are linked to a worshipping community. Day-to-day life reflects that foundation throughout the whole curriculum and ethos of the school.
The Joint Education Team covers 10 Local Authorities from the Tees to the Tweed. We offer professional advice to over one hundred schools and colleges within the Diocese of Newcastle and the Diocese of Durham respectively.
