The Bishop’s letter, which will be read out at Masses this weekend, can be downloaded using the button above. He commends to us the Catholic education service in our Diocese, invites us to support the work with prayer and through fund-raising. And he calls for more directors and governors to be appointed to the multi-academy trusts. Here are a few associated messages.
In our pastoral letter [this weekend], Bishop Patrick is seeking to appoint new foundation directors and governors for our Catholic Multi-Academy Trusts and schools. If you would like to know more about these rewarding voluntary roles, please contact Peter Giorgio (Director of Education) by emailing the Director’s PA, Julie Sweeney (julie.sweeney@nottingham-des.org.uk) or by telephoning 01332 293833.
Ahead of Education Sunday, the Catholic Union is encouraging people to sign an open letter to the Education Secretary calling for the 50 percent cap on faith-based admissions to new free schools to be lifted. The cap is preventing the Catholic Church in England from taking part in the free schools programme. The letter is available to sign at www.catholicunion.org.uk.
