  • Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22
    Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22 101240 (10.18) Welcome Welcome to Lambeth’s Education and Learning Strategy 2018–22 which looks ahead to the next few years and outlines our shared ambition for our learners of all ages. It has been developed in partnership between schools, other educational establishments and the Council. We want Lambeth to continue to be at the forefront of change and improvement in education, retaining good relationships between education providers and the Council and building on our collective strengths and achievements. We have strong partnerships between schools, colleges, neighbouring authorities, families, local communities and the Council that enable us to work towards securing an autonomous and self- improving education system. This commitment to raising standards is supported by a sound infrastructure of early years provision in our childcare, nursery school and children centre provision. Our charter for education and learning encapsulates our aspirations and ways of working together (see appendix 1, page 8). The overwhelming majority of Lambeth schools have chosen to retain their close working relationship with the Council. In 2017 the Lambeth Schools Partnership was launched to sustain high quality outcomes and excellent teaching and learning across the borough. The partnership is united in its vision that schools and other education settings should build on an existing culture of collaborative working to enable all the borough’s children and young people to experience the best possible education opportunities, outcomes and life chances. This Strategy is aligned to the overall role of the Council in supporting growth, improving community resilience, enhancing place and providing support to the vulnerable.
