Early years and education

We will support all our children so they are ready to learn, achieve and can access opportunity.

Priorities

• To improve attainment for all children across the region, particularly in literacy and numeracy

• To ensure vulnerable families get the help they need for their children to progress and achieve

• To support vulnerable young people and families by removing barriers to learning and helping them access opportunity

• To improve multi-agency working to make sure all our children have the best possible start in life

What this will mean for our residents

All our children and young people will be able to thrive in education throughout their childhood and develop the life skills they need to be happy and productive adults.

Families will have access to appropriate support to ensure children are healthy, happy and developing well from birth.
