Archbishop Vincent Nichols issued the following statement today, in order to reassure parents and students of Westminster Diocese's ongoing committment to the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School.

Archbishop Vincent said: "I am fully committed to the flourishing of the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School. This includes maintaining its fine traditions of academic rigour and musical excellence. I thank God for the work and achievements of the school which are always to be understood as an expression of Catholic faith and a part of the life and mission of the Diocese of Westminster. The Catholic character of the Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, of which it is rightly proud, should be evident in all aspects of its life."

Some parents had raised concerns following the appointment of new Foundation Governors.
