School Buildings, Sites and Land
The Archdiocese of Birmingham is one of 22 dioceses in England and Wales covering 204 primary schools and 37 secondary schools, with a geographical area of 3,373 square miles. The diocese covers 13 local authority areas including the counties of Oxfordshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and Worcestershire.

​As the trustees of the Archdiocese of Birmingham own the majority of academy and voluntary aided school sites in the diocesan area, approval should be sought (via the Capital team) prior to any building work being undertaken.
