Our schools consistently demonstrate high levels of attainment - well above national average. We are pleased about this but
not complacent. We have five clearly articulated aims for the schools service that are focused on delivering continuous improvement.
These are:
- to develop the best learning and teaching experience for all that delivers high standards of achievement, creativity, motivation and ambition
- to utilise our resources wisely to deliver effective, efficient and empowering learning environments for all
- to promote inclusion and ensure equality of opportunity and access for all and to all areas of the service
- to forge highly effective and productive partnerships and working practices with learners, staff, parents, professional colleagues and communities
- to encourage and develop citizenship in ways that actively promote participation, confidence, responsibility pride and ambition
