This is an exciting opportunity to celebrate Catholic education in the United Kingdom and the outstanding work that takes place in Catholic schools, colleges and universities across the country. The Big Assembly will take place at the start of the academic year and will highlight the way in which the Catholic Church works with the State and local communities to provide Catholic education in over 2300 schools across the United Kingdom. This unique partnership between Church and State ensures the provision of Catholic schools with a distinctive ethos for around 1 million students. The Big Assembly will showcase the strong positive contribution that Catholic schools make to society as a whole. The theme for The Big Assembly is ‘I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full’ (John 10:10) Who will be involved? Participants will come from schools across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and from the Catholic university colleges and universities in England. In addition, this event will be streamed live into every Catholic school across the United Kingdom, where millions of pupils, teachers, parents, governors and parishioners will gather to watch The Big Assembly as a school community.

The vast majority of these are voluntary-aided maintained schools or colleges, and over 150 are Catholic independent schools, including 9 special schools. There are also 3 Catholic academies and 20 schools (including one academy) run jointly with other Christian Churches. Catholic maintained schools and colleges in England and Wales currently educate nearly 800,000 pupils. In 2008, the proportion of Catholic pupils in Catholic maintained schools in England and Wales was around 75% in England and 65% in Wales. As well as schools, there are three Catholic University Colleges in England: St Mary’s University College, Twickenham; Trinity College, Leeds; and Newman College, Birmingham. Liverpool Hope University is a jointly Catholic and Anglican University. The funding of Catholic schools and colleges The Church contributes substantial amounts of capital towards the upkeep of the maintained school estate, currently amounting to a 10% contribution in England and 15% in Wales. In many cases the Church also has provided or significantly contributed to the land on which the school sits. A high quality, well-rounded education Ofsted inspections show that Catholic schools rate consistently better than average across all inspection criteria. For example: Ofsted inspections of schools’ overall effectiveness show that higher proportions of Catholic schools and colleges are placed in the ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ categories. For example Ofsted inspections 2008/2009 judged 79% of Catholic primary schools to achieve this standard compared with 68% of schools nationally. Similarly, 79% of Catholic secondary schools were judged to be outstanding or good compared with 64% of all schools nationally.1 In 2009 Ofsted rated 51% of Catholic schools compared to 37% of national schools as ‘outstanding’, ‘excellent’ or ‘very good’ with regard to the extent of learners’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. This category of inspection measures factors such as learners’ attitudes to bullying, effective discussion in lessons, and readiness to engage with others from a different cultural background2. Community cohesion Catholic schools in England and Wales are generally diverse and score highly in inspections of community cohesion. Ofsted inspection data analysed from September 2005 to July 2009 shows that 41% of Catholic secondary schools in England made an outstanding contribution to their communities, compared to 24% of all schools. 1 Schools Census and Edubase, Written answers and statements in Parliament, Hansard 26 Oct 2009 Column 200W 2 Schools Census and Edubase. Written answers and statements in Parliament Hansard 2 Oct 2009 Column 608W THE BIG ASSEMBLY PRESS PACK The following evidence shows strongly both the inclusivity and diversity of Catholic Schools: Catholic schools exclude fewer pupils than other schools in England and Wales. The percentage of students permanently excluded in Catholic schools in 2007/2008 was 0.09%, whilst the percentage for other schools was 0.11%.3 27% of pupils at Catholic secondary schools are from ethnic minority backgrounds, compared with 22.5% in other schools.4 Catholic schools in England are around the national average figure (0.36%) regarding the number of pupils in care. 5 Almost identical patterns are shown in the distribution of pupils eligible for free school meals between Catholic and community secondary schools. 6% of Catholic schools have more than 35% of pupils eligible for free school meals; the national figure is 7%.6 Catholic higher education The Catholic Church does not only see its involvement in education at the school level. An important part of the mission of the Church is also higher education where the Church offers high quality education, inspired by Christian values and rooted within a strong and distinctive ethos. A Catholic foundation in higher education is understood as: ‘an academic institution which in a rigorous and critical fashion assists in the advancement of human

  • To the Members of the John Paul II Foundation: the Formation of the Young Is an Investment for the Future
    N. 161021a Friday 21.10.2016 To the members of the John Paul II Foundation: the formation of the young is an investment for the future This morning in the Consistory Hall Pope Francis received the members of the St. John Paul II Foundation, whose president is Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko, and which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. The Foundation supports initiatives of an educational, cultural, religious and charitable character, inspired by St. John Paul II, whose liturgical memory is celebrated tomorrow, and is active in various countries especially in Eastern Europe, where it has enabled many students to complete their studies. The celebration of the anniversary allows the Foundation to evaluate the work that has been carried out so far, and at the same time to look to the future with new aims and objectives. The Pope therefore encouraged its members to continue their efforts in the promotion and support of younger generations, so that they may face life’s challenges, always inspired by an evangelical sensibility and the spirit of faith. “The formation of the young is an investment for the future: may the young never be robbed of their hope for a better tomorrow!”. “The Jubilee Year that is coming to an end encourages us to reflect and meditate on the greatness of God’s mercy in a time in which humanity, due to advances in various fields of technology and science, tends to consider itself to be self-sufficient, as if it were emancipated from any higher authority, believing that everything depends on itself alone. As Christians, however, we are aware that everything is a gift from God and that the true wealth is not money, which on the contrary can enslave, but rather God’s love, which sets us free”.
