A WARM WELCOME

From its inner-city energy to the beauty of the Surrey Hills, the Southwark Diocese is a diverse and vibrant landscape in so many wonderful ways.

We are one of the largest Dioceses in the Church of England, serving the people of South London and East Surrey. Across our Diocese there are 105 schools spread across 12 Local Authorities. Each of them is supported by the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education, as well as their own local authority.

OUR BEGINNING Most of these schools are in a very strong position, but back in 2016 we realised that the educational landscape was changing quickly, and we worried that some of our schools may become isolated. Mindful of the government’s push towards academies and how local authority support was diminishing, the Southwark Diocese created the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education Multi-Academy Trust (SDBE MAT).

We believed that by forming a Trust and offering the opportunity for our schools to join, we were creating more security for our church schools by providing stability and giving the chance for greater relations and knowledge-sharing, not just within regions, but across the Diocese, ultimately improving the educational experience for our children.

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER We recognise that each school is unique and celebrate their distinctiveness by protecting their autonomy and identity. It really is what makes our Trust so special. This way we ensure our schools continue to serve their communities and our children in a way that’s right for them. Since day one we have seen success. Our educational and financial performance is strong, and we are growing at a steady and measured pace. We are proud to have incredible schools with incredible leaders, and we all walk together in the pursuit of excellence.
