Manchester Diocesan Board of Education staff provide a variety of training and CPD for leaders, staff and school governors, of church schools in Manchester Diocese. Events are free of charge to schools who are members of the Service Level Agreement. For those not part of our SLA an attendance fee may be charged.

All events support leaders and staff to uphold the Christian distinctiveness of the foundation of Manchester Diocese church schools, including guidance for the Statutory Inspection of Methodist and Anglican Schools (SIAMS). Events do not replicate training provided by Local Authorities.

The Chair of Manchester Board of Education is the Rt Revd Mark Davies, Bishop of Middleton.

Diocesan Director of Education, Deborah Smith.
