The Development of ChurchschoolsEast

ChurchschoolsEast has developed informally over several years, but recently the respective Boards of Education of Ely, Norwich and St Edmundsbury & Ipswich Dioceses have entered into a covenant to work together more closely and further develop our partnership. The production of joint resources       and publications, such as this website, is one of the early fruits of this joint working and we hope other services will follow.  We have recently been joined by Chelmsford Diocese.
