“I have come in order that you might have life – life in all its fullness.”

(John 10:10)

LDBS, the London Diocesan Board for Schools, supports and advocates for Church of England schools and pupils in London. We serve a diverse and thriving community of 154 Church of England schools and more than 55,000 pupils.

Church schools are for everyone: this principle is as important today as when LDBS was established in 1836. Our aim is for children and young people to flourish in the widest sense. We want children’s futures to be transformed in schools which are ‘deeply Christian, serving the common good’.

“I have come in order that you might have life – life in all its fullness.” Jesus (John 10:10)

As you read about our work, please pray with us that the children and young people we serve will know life in all its fullness.
