HES is a part of the Children, Adults and Community Health (CACH) directorate within the Council and works closely with all types of schools and settings in the borough. HES are responsible for Hackney's children centres, schools, early years programs and adult education.

Their mission is to improve the life chances of every child, young person and learner in Hackney making Hackney the most forward looking education system in the UK, where schools, settings and partners provide an exciting environment that ensures inclusion and success for everyone. We see our borough as being one of the best places in the country for young people to grow, learn, develop and achieve – and one of the best places for colleagues to work and thrive in our education system.

The function of the LDBS and aspects of its governance is set down in the Diocesan Measure that has been approved by both Parliament and the Church. The key purposes of the LDBS are "to promote church schools" and "to promote education which is consistent with the faith and practice of the works with The Diocese of London, who play a key role in our school development and governance.

The LDBS team is dedicated to providing excellent training, advice, and resources to their whole extended family of schools and their leaders, teachers, support staff, governors and chaplains. The support is broad: from school standards to the impact of the school’s Christian vision, from recruitment to HR to buildings maintenance.
