About SDBE
The SDBE is proud to support 99 schools and academies, colleges and universities across our diverse and vibrant Diocese.
Church schools are for everyone. Our vision for education in our schools and academies, colleges and universities reflects the wider Anglican concern for the well-being of everyone entrusted to our care.
The outworking of our Christian faith, identity and ethos is to serve the needs of young people and their families in the community as a whole. This has been the commitment of our Church schools since their foundation, and will continue to be so, by God’s Grace, into a hopeful future.
The SDBE is dedicated to providing excellent training, professional advice, resources, guidance and pastoral support. We aim to ensure that our school leaders, governors and chaplains are equipped to give the 35,000 young people in our care the best possible education and life chances. Our core services and support are essential for Church schools in Southwark Diocese and represent excellent value.
