Purpose

The strategy outlines the vision, priorities,
commitment and impact measures to ensure excellent education
experiences and outcomes for our children over the next six years,
ensuring its impact is aligned with the Council’s Borough
plan.

Our previous strategy ran from 2018 to 2022. As we look to 2030 and
the bold ambitions in our borough plan, Lambeth 2030: Our Future,
Our Lambeth, we need to review and refresh our priorities to build
on our success and continue to challenge systemic challenges and
inequalities. Children and young people are at the heart of what we
want to achieve, as we strive to ensure that all children and young
people can have the best start in life and feel safe and thrive in
a place of opportunity. The Education and Learning Strategy is a
key part of delivering this ambition.

It looks ahead to the next six years and outlines our shared
ambition for our learners. It summarises the overarching strategy
for education and learning in Lambeth between 2024-2030 with the
aim to improve performance for all Lambeth pupils and supports them
to develop the skills to succeed in the workplace and fulfil their
ambitions. It provides information on the challenges we face and
our commitment to deliver change.

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. To do this, the strategy has been
developed in partnership with schools, other educational
establishments, and the Council.

We ask that Cabinet agree this strategy
