Diocesan Board of Education
The Diocese of Ely Education Directorate has full information about our schools and organisational aims, values and structures. We deliver our education programme through a small team, led by the Diocesan Director of Education with oversight from our members on the Board.
By legal requirement (under the DBE Measure 2021) and like all dioceses - Ely has a Diocesan Board of Education (DBE). The functions of the DBE are fulfilled by its statutory committee, the Ely Diocesan Education Committee (EDEC). It is served by the Diocesan Director of Education (DDE) who is appointed by the Bishop, and supported by a small expert team of Officers.
The role of the Diocesan Director of Education is to oversee, monitor and organise the SIAMS inspection of all Church schools and the Responsible Bodies that run them, and represent and protect the interests of 50 Diocesan education charitable trusts plus 87 school trust deeds. The DDE also fulfils some important ex-officio positions at national and local level (including statutory committees at the Local Authority) pertaining to educational delivery across the region and beyond.
