Who we work with

SCES and the CEC work with a range of individual colleagues, partner  associations and Church agencies in our joint efforts to promote and support Catholic education in Scotland.  Some of this work involves discussion and consultation with officials from local Councils, the Scottish Government, Education Scotland, the Scottish Qualifications Auhtority and other educational organisations.  Other work includes the development of resources and support materials for schools and parishes.

The Church acknowledges and appreaciates the significant contributions made by many individuals who commit their time and expertise to this important work.

We work in partnership with the following groups which are directly involved in Catholic education issues within Scotland:
Diocesan Advisers in Religious Education work to support schools in the delivery of Religious Education.  They develop resources and provide in-service training for teachers.
Church Reps serve on Education Committees of local Councils, representing their local Bishop.  They attend committee meetings and meet with Coucnil offices to discuss local issues and developments.
CHAPS is the association of  Catholic Head Teachers of Primary Schools  in Scotland. They work closely with SCES and with other bodies to promote Catholic education in Scotland.
CHAS is the association of  Catholic Head Teachers of Secondary Schools in Scotland.  They work closely with SCES and with other bodies to promote Catholic education in Scotland.

 University of Glasgow School of Education carries responsibility for the formation of teachers for Catholic schools in Scotland.  SCES works closely with Faculty colleagues to support students, contributing to CPD for teachers and to Leadership development.
We work in partnership with others who are directly involved in Catholic education issues beyond Scotland:
