Learning: Realising Potential
Participation
in learning throughout life is important. Education
transforms lives by improving skills, knowledge and confidence, by
improving chances of employment and earnings, and by increasing
individual ability to participate in, contribute to, and
influence wider society. It can also bring pleasure and
personal fulfilment, and contributes to better physical and mental
well-being.
Developing and delivering learning opportunities [pdf

Children's Services, and its key purpose of improving learning and
achievement.
We are committed to:
- establishing learning communities
- developing the curriculum for pre-school, school and post
school learning
- delivering effective learning experiences
- supporting effective teaching
- providing easy access to learning opportunities
- engaging in partnerships to improve learning
We recognise that these commitments are inter-related and
inter-dependent.
We have developed our
Learning: Realising Potential Policy Statement [pdf
380KB] and policy documents (which are available from the
downloads on this page) to enhance Learning: Realising Potential
throughout our Service.
