Diocese of Westminster Education Service

Serving 202 Catholic schools across London, Hertfordshire, and parts of Surrey, the Diocese of Westminster Education Service provides advice, support, and training to ensure schools flourish in accordance with the Trust Deed of the Diocese.

Our events include online and in-person courses, day conferences, residential conferences, and a wide range of CPD opportunities throughout the academic year. These events are designed to support school leaders, teachers, governors, and staff across a broad range of areas, including Religious Education, Catholic Life, curriculum development, governance, recruitment, admissions, and capital and academy projects.

Our schools are vital to the mission of the Church. Through collaboration and formation, we aim to ensure that Catholic education continues to thrive and that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed to future generations.
