The CES has issued a statement rejecting the allegations made by new coalition Accord.  Click on the link below to read the full statement.

'It is a shame that at a time when we should all want to focus on getting the new academic year off to a good start we are diverted by hoary old chestnuts, misleading about what faiths schools are, who they are for, and what they do.  In the Catholic sector we are going to continue putting our backs into working for the best possible outcomes for each pupil in our care and for the wellbeing of society; instead of distracting us from something that works well and benefits many, let us just get on with the job and respect our freedom and rights of equality.'

Oona Stannard, Chief Executive and Director, CES
