" The Diocese of Hereford has seldom held and is never likely to hold, a very conspicuous place amongst the dioceses of the Church of England, but it has claim to represent that unobtrusive phase of life which is expressed to us in the notion of family." 

 A Diocesan History – 1888 By Henry Wright Phillott

Our diocese and our trust continue to recognise the importance of family at the very heart of things, especially for our children. We maintain a climate where families can flourish together. We also try to work together as a family of academies, different in countless ways, yet bound together by a common purpose, to give the children of our diocese the best start in life we possibly can. 

We are here to develop qualities of character that enable children to flourish together, respecting human dignity and with appreciation of the ultimate worth of each person. Ours is an education which builds bridges and which enables all our children to live a life in all its fullness.
