The CES Census

A decade of data

The census remains the most accurate report of Catholic education in England and we are now able to reflect on almost a decade’s worth of precise data. It is one of the most vital tools in monitoring and promoting the success of the country’s largest single provider of secondary school education and second largest provider of primary school education. 

Not only does the census give us the ability to present highly accurate information about Catholic schools in England but it also provides us with the essential data needed to monitor long-term trends in Catholic education. As such, the information from the census is invaluable in our discussions with our government partners, parliamentarians, local authorities, and the media.
