Purpose

Refreshed Schools Strategy in response to
Schools Bill.

We will work with partners to raise standards in schools and
support young people to successfully transition out of secondary
school ‘life ready’, equipped for work and lifelong
learning.

For our vulnerable and SEND young people we will have a focus upon
preparation for adult life from the earliest points

We will ensure that inclusion is at the heart of everything we do
and we will work together to ensure all schools, as part of an
integrated community-based response, provide inclusive and
‘poverty proofed’ services, which support all children
and young people to attend and achieve their potential –
including those from disadvantaged backgrounds and those
disproportionally effected by the ongoing impact of the Covid-19
pandemic
