Dioceses in England and Wales have been issued with a CD containing a draft dataset, which reports derived data collected from schools and colleges within their dioceses.  This is a rich collation of data which will assist diocesan officers in their planning and research, as well as their work with schools and colleges.  The CESEW seeks diocesan comment on the accuracy of the data by 10^th November e: npopham@cesew.org.uk t: 0207 901 4887.

The annual collation of the CES Census data from Catholic schools and colleges in England and Wales supports the CESEW in its policy development, its work with Government and in national debates relating to the sector, including recent exchanges about joint schools and contribution of Catholic schools and colleges to community cohesion.
