Description
Roman Catholic public schools in England emerged in the early 1800s as part of a broader Catholic educational mission. By the early twentieth century, around a dozen such schools had established themselves, catering to both aristocratic and middle-class pupils. Their objectives were to create a new Catholic elite that could take its place in the Establishment. As the mid-twentieth century approached, these schools reached their zenith, but by the millennium, they faced significant challenges, including declining vocations to the religious life, a stagnant Catholic population, and child sexual abuse cases. Educating in Faith explores the diverse histories of these schools within the broader context of Roman Catholicism in England, examining their place within the Catholic educational mission and the nature of their academic, cultural, and spiritual character. This book reflects on the contemporary relevance and character of these schools, considering how co-education, increasing competition, and changes in the workforce have altered their environments.
