In response to the unique challenges of succession planning in schools of a religious character we've developed a strategy and set of tools for dioceses to plan, create and manage local strategies for succession planning.

These materials have been designed to introduce you to the:

  • strategy for providers of schools with a religious character
  • key elements of the 'deal' that underpins the strategy
  • self-evaluation and data-reporting procedures
  • Framework for Action, underpinned by five foundations for success and seven local actions

This strategy has been developed by the National College in partnership with the Catholic Education Service for England and Wales (CES), the Church of England's National Society for Promoting Religious Education (NSPRE) and diocesan and local authority representatives.
