The Bishops’ Memorandum on the Appointment of Staff in Catholic Schools has been updated to reflect the organisation of Catholic schools today.

The Memorandum sets out the expectations of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales about the appointment of staff in Catholic schools and the use of CES employment documentation, and it applies to all Catholic maintained schools, academies, independent schools, sixth form colleges and non-maintained special schools, including those that are in the trusteeship of a religious order.

All Catholic school governing boards must ensure that they have a copy of the Memorandum and that they comply with it.
