Catholic schools are popular and ethnically diverse. They make a positive contribution to our society and education system and are amongst the highest performing schools nationally We want more good schools and to more quality providers to establish them. Our consultation, Schools that Work for Everyone, is aimed at creating more good schools and improving social cohesion so that more young people have the chance to go as far as their talents will take them.
