We are delighted to invite you to attend the Diocesan Education Service Leadership Conference. In line with the 2025 Jubilee motto, the theme for the day is 'Pilgrims of Hope' in a spirit of humanity, fraternity, faith, communion and creation as, together, we renew our hope. We are excited to be joined by Baroness Barran, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Education, Dame Rachel de Souza, National Children's Commissioner, Andrew Cook, Regional Director of OFSTED for the North West and West Midlands, and Tom Baptist, Chaplaincy Director at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic MAT. Senior figures from the Clergy will also be joining us and celebrating Mass in the afternoon.
