The Diocese of Ely covers the county of Cambridgeshire, West Norfolk and southern Peterborough. In this area there are 85 Church schools of which 35 are currently members of DEMAT, the Diocese’s Multi Academy Trust.
The oldest schools date from the 17th Century benefactions of men such as Barnabas Oley at Great Gransden and William Westley at Whittlesford, while new schools have opened in new housing developments at Alconbury Weald (Ermine Street Academy) and Northstowe (The Pathfinder School).
