Church Schools: Catholicism
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Agnew of Oulton on 6 December 2017 (HL3948), what is their assessment of the value of Catholic schools.
- Answer
-
There are 1,967 state funded Catholic schools in England.
They are more likely to be rated good or outstanding by Ofsted than other schools and achieve consistently higher exam results than the national average.
The Catholic Church has been providing education in England since 1847 and the government recognises the enormous contribution the Catholic Church has provided over the last 170 years.
