The Church of England: a major force in education for
hundreds of years.In Mansfield, the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham is pleased to provide Christian input to two secondary schools offering free education. Currently, Area Dean Revd. George Butler is a regular visitor to the young people at QE School. Soon a chaplain* will be appointed to minister to the pupils of both establishments.
Here are brief details of the two schools. To visit their websites, click on the logos at the bottom of the page
For well over 400 years the QUEEN ELIZABETH school has served the educational needs of the young people of Mansfield. Recently renamed THE QUEEN ELIZABETH'S (1561) ENDOWED SCHOOL, the Diocese plays an important role in its ethos. Proud of its heritage but determined to meet the needs of 21st century young people, the school strives towards ever higher standards. "We are proud to serve our community and through partnership we are making The Queen Elizabeth's School an exciting place to learn together."
THE SAMWORTH CHURCH ACADEMY opens
in the existing buildings of Sherwood Hall School in September 2008 before moving to brand new purpose-built accommodation in 2010. This exciting
project is jointly financed by local retired businessman David Samworth and by the
Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham.
Open to young people of any faith or
none, the declared aim is " . . . to create a
school that is built on respect and avoids any kind of discrimination (and with)
Christian values and ethos".
Soon we hope to add to this page details of Church of England Primary Schools within the Mansfield Deanery
