Our Aims
Our 2020 aims, agreed with the five local authorities are that:
- Children and young people achieve and sustain outcomes that are the highest performing in Wales at most levels in 2018 and sustain it to 2020
- Schools show sustained improvement at all levels rivalling the best in the UK by 2020
- Vulnerable children increasingly close the gap on their peers and do so faster than elsewhere in Wales
- Teaching is excellent for most children, particularly so in schools within the most deprived communities
- Inspection outcomes show increased levels of excellence in teaching and leadership and in judgements on schools’ capacity to improve
- The region is recognised for the quality of its school-led curriculum, professional learning and leadership and its work with the higher education sector and initial teacher training providers
- There are wider partnerships involving business, the community and parents working with schools to reinforce aspiration
- The region works with others to drive up standards and capacity for improving teaching and leadership as part of delivering the new Curriculum for Wales
