History

The Church of England has been establishing and sustaining schools for
the people of London for hundreds of years. In 1924, the London Diocesan
Board for Schools was set up to be the educational arm of the London
Diocese. The function of the LDBS and aspects of its governance are
set down in the Diocesan Measure which has been approved by both Parliament
and the Church. Key purposes if the LDBS are "to promote church
schools" and "to promote education which is consistent with
the faith and practice of the Church of England".
