Education and Learning

As a Council we want to ensure that you can aspire to learn and achieve high standards - whether you are doing this to gain employment or to further your personal development.

Our commitment to education and learning will give you and everyone a chance to improve your well-being, widen your horizons and enrich our community.

To achieve this we will:

• Raise educational standards and achievement
• Increase accessibility to and participation in learning and development, particularly for those at risk of underachievement and social exclusion
• Ensure that our schools and children's centres are effective community resources that support current and future national education and children's services initiatives
