More on the Vaughan......

Paul Barber is the Westminster Diocese Director of Education. An important post. One that calls for a wide range of skills in management and administration, in fact, here is the list of responsibilities for the post lifted from the Diocesan website:-

PAUL BARBER  -  DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION AND DIOCESAN SCHOOLS’ COMMISSIONER

·          Responsibility for the overall development, promotion and effectiveness of Catholic education in the diocese

·          Provision and standards of religious education and the Catholic life of schools

·          The leadership and management of the Diocesan Education Service

·          Ensuring that there are sufficient and suitable places in Catholic schools

·          Providing specialist advice to headteachers, governors and parish priests

·          Responsibility for the support and advice given to religious educators, headteachers and governors

·          Representing and advising the diocesan trustees

·          Liaison with the DCSF, LEAs, LSCs and other statutory bodies

·          Representing the diocese on local authority committees

That's a full lunch box in anyone's language. I can't see anything about assuming specific school board control so why then has he also assumed the role of Governor at Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School? Hasn't he got enough on his plate?

REMEMBER: Tomorrow 2nd February 6.15pm - Candlight vigil at CVS in support of the parents who do not wish to have Archbishop Nichols and his team running their school!
I understand the school orchestra or, at least, musicians from it, will provide some musical diversions......choice of music?

Hmm.....................how about....
