A great education in a world-renowned setting
A shared vision for Education in Cumbria

It is our ambition that every child has a world class holistic educational experience
in their local setting, which enables them to contribute to society as resilient, confident, and tolerant global citizens.

Through our collective leadership and system, shared passion, and commitment we will:

 Be proactive, innovative, and collaborative;
 Reflect our diversity and uniqueness;
 Provide equity and equality through an inspirational curriculum and
 Learn from each other and share what works best.

We are working together as a system with integrity, energy and courage to achieve sustainable change for the future by:

Priority 1. Improving standards, increasing opportunities and raising aspirations for all children and young people.

Priority 2. Attracting and retaining the most talented practitioners, developing expertise through an exceptional workforce offer.

Priority 3. Grasping every opportunity to diversify our shared estate for the 21st century, to meet the needs of communities in the future.

We will include and reflect the voice of our children and young people and work alongside our parents and our partners.

We are all the integral parts of our County’s Education and Training community; we work together across all age ranges, and with all young people to ensure they get the best starts in life, followed by the best opportunities enabling them to contribute to society as resilient, confident, and tolerant global citizens.

We want you to ensure our strategic approach is coherent, and our priorities and actions are aligned, interconnecting with other key strategies and plans. We want to ensure all age ranges and cohorts are captured in our initial development work. In this first consultation we want you to help us define actions for the 1st priority.
