Welcome From The Director

As the governing body for 39 primary and five secondary schools in the Diocese, we invite you to explore the unique benefits of Catholic education.

DOSCEL provides leadership, support, and resources to our schools. We also oversee the employment of all staff across our schools, fostering a dedicated and inspiring educational environment.

Whether you are seeking a nurturing environment for your child or exploring career opportunities in education, our schools are dedicated to creating inclusive Christ-centred communities that nourish the heart, mind, and spirit.

Our approach is rooted in our Vision: Faith inspired educational excellence for a faith-filled future.
At the core of this is a commitment to develop each student holistically – spiritually, academically, socially, culturally, physically, and emotionally.

Our schools partner with parishes to support students’ faith journeys, encouraging them to become confident, compassionate, and engaged individuals.

Supported by strong governance and a focus on child safety, sustainability, and ethical stewardship, our schools are committed to providing high-quality, affordable education enriched by Catholic Social Teaching.

Catholic schools welcome students and staff of all backgrounds and faiths.

It is my sincere hope that you will find in our Catholic schools a place where every student and staff member feels valued, respected, and cared for – a place inspired by the fullness of life, faith, and learning.
