The Way ahead

The report of the Church Schools Review Group, chaired by Lord Dearing, was officially published on 14 June 2001. The Way ahead is the culmination of the Review Group's work after 18 months, and sets out the Review Group's vision for the future of Church of England schools and the Group's recommendations to the Church. You can download PDF files of the report or read the summary. The list of those who submitted evidence is also available online.

To see how the report's recommendations are being implemented, find out more about the latest news regarding the report, related to its three key recommendations: distinctiveness, strategic development and vocation. There is also some information about the fundraising strategy.

A video, The Challenge of a Lifetime, is available from Diocesan Education offices and The National Society, which can be used with the supporting notes on this web site to aid discussion of the important challenges raised by The Way ahead.

During the Review the Church of England Board of Education commissioned a report by the Grubb Institute on the particular features of Christian leadership that are helpful in transforming a struggling school into a successful one. The report was finalized in December 2002 under the title, Becoming Fit for Purpose: Leading Transformation in Church Schools.
