In efforts to move mission back to the top of the Church agenda, the Anglican dioceses of Portsmouth and Winchester are joining forces to offer greater efficiency and support to schools and colleges in the region.
Education staff from both dioceses have come together to create a single team working throughout Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
The new 'Mission and Education' team is based in Portsmouth's new diocesan offices in Peninsular House, next to the cross-channel ferry port. The staff members will serve 145 schools - covering more than 30,000 children - as well as all further education colleges and universities across both dioceses.
The two dioceses explain that they have been working together for many years, so the new joint working arrangement is a natural development of that reality.
