The Diocese of Lincoln operates a system of Bishop's Visitors. These are volunteers who provide a link between the Diocese and its Church Schools. Bishop's Visitors take an interest in the life of the school, provide pastoral support and act as an advocate for the school in the community; as such they are an important part of the support network for the family of Church Schools.

What is a Bishop’s Visitor?

The role of a Bishop’s Visitor is to:

• Be a Growing Faith ambassador for the school
• Provide a practical link between the school and the church
• Provide pastoral care for the school
• Encourage and support the school in upholding its Christian ethos through its vision and values Provide a Christian presence in the school, supporting and enhancing the distinctive nature of the school

Each visitor has individual strengths and skills through which, in close cooperation with the school, they will develop their own valued contribution to school life. Each year Bishop's Visitors are given an opportunity to meet with other Bishop's Visitors for training and sharing good practice.  In the Autumn term the Diocesan Education Team host a day which includes a comiision service in the Chapel at Edward King House for the year ahead. In Spring and Autumn there are training days held to upskill the Bishop Visitors. 

Safeguarding

Ensuring the safety and well-being of every individual in our Church school communities is of the highest priority. In line with current national safeguarding legislation you will be asked to complete an electronic Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check. Details of how to do this will be sent on receipt of your application pack. References will be requested and an informal interview arranged with the Bishop’s Visitor Coordinator or a member of the Diocesan Education Team.
