Our vision

For Schools

What is the LDBS vision for Church schools in London?

The Diocese of London has an exciting 2030 Vision for every young Londoner to experience the love of God in Christ. The LDBS vision is a deeply Christian education for every young Londoner.

We do this through exercising responsible stewardship of Church of England education, and through five areas of service:

  • Providing enriching opportunities: Every pupil experiences the love of God in Christ

  • Developing schools: Church schools are deeply Christian, transformational and serving the common good, so that every pupil thrives

  • Developing people: Programmes are deeply Christian, transformational and serving the common good, so that staff and governors thrive

  • Developing school operations & logistics: Church schools are resilient, safe and sustainable

  • Strengthening education: The sector is strengthened through responsible stewardship and long-term, pro-active collaboration

LDBS commitment to anti-racism

LDBS has gained accreditation and continues to work with Inclusive Employers to ensure that we understand and can challenge and prevent discrimination against any individual or group.

As an organisation we have a zero-tolerance towards discrimination of any kind. We are committed to challenging and removing structural racism and discrimination within the Diocese. We expect staff working for LDBS and for Church schools increasingly to reflect the diversity of their communities. We celebrate diversity of our staff and are taking active steps to address under-representation.

If you have experienced racism or discrimination of any kind through LDBS or a Church school in London we encourage you to speak with our People and Culture Director. We welcome opportunities to listen to and learn from all those we serve.
