Purpose:

The Buckinghamshire Education Strategy is a refresh of the Education and Skills Strategy that was approved in 2018. Following initial collaboration and engagement and a public consultation process, the Education Strategy has been shaped and developed with a focus on 5 key priority areas in order to further improve educational provision for children and young people in Buckinghamshire.

Decision:

A strategy for Education and Skills for Buckinghamshire had been developed in 2018 through collaboration and consultation with key stakeholders, with the purpose of implementing continuous improvement in educational provision across Buckinghamshire until 2022.

 

Following further collaboration and engagement with a wide range of partners, the Strategy had been refreshed to show the progress made and to highlight the priority areas we need to focus on in the future.  The review of the Strategy was timely given the unprecedented period of change and uncertainty that had been experienced due to the Pandemic and wider economic and social events.  The refreshed Strategy provided the opportunity to review and reformulate the vision for education for children and young people in Buckinghamshire.

 

RESOLVED –

 

That the updated Buckinghamshire Education Strategy 2022-27 be APPROVED for publication and launch.

Details of any conflict of interest declared: None.
