In November 1998, the Church of England General Synod passed the following motion affirming the place of Church schools:
That this Synod, believing that Church schools stand at the centre of the Church's mission to the nation:
(a) strongly urge:
(i) Diocesan Synods, in the light of the School Standards and Framework Act, to review the resources available to Diocesan Boards of Education to enable them to be involved in all aspects of statutory education;
(ii) each PCC to discuss how it can serve all schools in the parish;
(iii) each PCC to commit itself to the greatest possible active support for Church schools in its area;
(iv) each Deanery Synod to consider how it can assist parishes in providing active support for Church schools which serve several parishes within its area;
(b) welcome the opportunities for Church schools to move to the voluntary aided category and encourages dioceses to support governors in so doing, where appropriate; and
(c) invite the Archbishops' Council to review the achievements of Church schools and to make proposals for the future development of Church schools and Church colleges of further and higher education.
