Catholic Schools: Delivering for Communities
You are invited to read this paper which articulates the future vision of Catholic Education,
its ethos, and values.
The Catholic school sector is an exemplar of service delivery which continues to address the key
educational challenges of our time and improve outcomes for children and young people. We
believe that we have much to contribute to the creation of a high-achieving, inclusive education
system in Northern Ireland that cherishes diversity.
