<p>Church of England schools are community schools educating over a million children
a day. As a community school in many parts of the country, particularly our major
cities, this means the majority of pupils are from non-Christian backgrounds, from
other faith communities and from global majority ethnic backgrounds. All Church of
England schools follow the national curriculum and also the Church of England’s <em>vision
for education</em>, prioritising education of the whole child and promoting the spiritual,
intellectual and emotional resources needed to live a good life. The vision for education
encourages the development of the skills of wisdom, hope, community and respect; fostering
a society where people can work together and have an understanding of British values,
democracy, rule of law and the dignity of the human person. More details about this
vision and the church schools can be found here: <a href="https://www.churchofengland.org/about/education-and-schools"

<strong><br> </strong>Awards of nearly £13 million have been made for dioceses to
help churches support more children, young people and families. The grants from the
Strategic Mission and Ministry Investment Board of the Archbishops’ Council will revitalise
parishes and start new congregations. The investments build on already successful
projects to create new congregations and reach children and young people in areas
including Bolton, Bournemouth, Guildford, Southampton and Wakefield. More information
