Programme for Church School Flourishing

Here, you can learn more about one of our strategic commitments – Powerful Partnerships.

The Programme for Church School Flourishing (PCSF) sees our diocese partner with other diocese in the south west of England with one, joined-up approach to our work with multi-academy trusts.  The Salisbury Diocesan Board of Education has developed a unique programme of partnership with trusts; and this is being rolled out across the dioceses of Truro, Exeter, Bristol, Gloucester, Bath & Wells and Salisbury.

It builds on the knowledge, skills and wisdom held by Trust leaders set with a heart of innovation, deep reflective thinking and a focus on building and partnered development is the Programme for Church School Flourishing and is centred on enriching and deepening the expertise of school trusts, enabling the flourishing of their church schools, their children, young people and adults.

To achieve this, four key leaders in trusts are led through a modular training programme to fulfil strategic roles in the trust:

• Leader for Church School Flourishing (LCSF)
• Champion for Church School Recruitment (CCSR)
• Leader for Church School Governance (LCSG)
• RE and CW Faculty Lead (RECWFL)

Once leaders have completed the training, they will step into diocese-led networks with full access to the held wisdom of the Board of Education.
