LDBS Academies Trust

Partnership

The LDBS Academies Trust collaborates with several organisations:

London Diocesan Board for Schools

The Diocese of London champions education founded on the Christian faith and its values. We have a responsibility for the leadership, support, growth and encouragement of 159 schools spread across 18 local authorities in London, north of the Thames. We care for 57,900 students as well as many thousands of teachers and other members of staff working in those schools.

The mission of the Church of England in London is set out in the London Challenge. Within the seven commitments in that vision, the LDBS identifies in particular with the desire:

  • To tell the story of Jesus Christ afresh for this generation and especially for the young.
  • To serve London and all her people through developing and adding to our schools.

Our ambition is two-fold: that all our schools will be valued for their excellence in education; and that there will be a place for every child wishing to go to a Church of England school.

 CEFEL/NPQ

The Church of England Foundation for Educational Leadership

The Church of England Foundation for Educational Leadership (CEFEL) brings together a wide range of educational partners, dedicated to supporting the development of leaders in education working towards a vision for education based on a Christian view of 'life in all its fullness' (John 10:10).

They work to resource leaders at all levels of the education system by offering:

  • Networks: Bringing leaders together regionally to support, challenge and inspire each other, through collaboration, coaching and conferences
  • Programmes: Equipping school and system leaders with the wisdom, knowledge and skills to realise their vision for education.
  • Research: Ensuring leaders have access to a strong evidence base for their work through a depth of thinking and reflection on leadership, pedagogy and theology

Through these 3 core strands, the Foundation aims to create and resource a movement of dynamic and creative leaders who are equipped and encouraged to support each other’s development, synergising the best in pedagogical and leadership thinking with rich theological reflection and personal development.

Regional peer support networks provide the opportunity for schools of all shapes and sizes to work together to support each other’s development through rich pedagogical and theological reflection, through a wide range of regional, national and international events and connections.

CEFEL is a national NPQ provider and deliver the full suite of programme in partnership with regional providers. The LDBS Academies Trust leads one of the programs, NPQH. Our staff have access to the full suite of programs to develop their professional leading.
