Education Strategy

We want children and young people in Kent to have the best education.

With support from education leaders, partners, families, carers and young people, we've created an Education Strategy for everyone.

The education system in Kent is huge and diverse. This creates wonderful opportunities for working together and improving on the good practices we already have.

This strategy ensures that children and young people are heard, included, and supported. Our main aim is for them to be well prepared for their future and empowered to achieve their potential. To do this, our Education Strategy focuses on three areas:

  1. Raising ambition - we will be ambitious for all children and young people by creating firm floors that provide secure starts and long ladders to enable everyone to reach beyond expectations.
  2. Enabling curiosity – we will support children and young people to be ready to learn and we will support and encourage them to explore their interests and wider horizons.
  3. Building resilience – we will build resilience for the education system by addressing barriers and encouraging effective, collaborative working.
