The Government has committed further funding to improve educational standards and raise accessibility, but there is a need to ensure value for money as the growth in funding slows down. Government education strategy focuses on educational outcomes and requires changing roles for local authorities and new responsibilities for schools and colleges. We are particularly well placed to contribute because we combine ground-level professional support services experience in schools and strategic management capacity to support local authorities and the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
