Islington Schools
Islington secondary schools are being transformed. GCSEs have dramatically
improved, millions of pounds are being invested in state-of-the-art new
buildings and facilities; specialist teaching and personalised learning plans
will ensure that every child is offered the best possible opportunity to enjoy
and achieve.
Islington schools have secured over £100 million from the "Building Schools
for the Future" fund, to invest in the best possible education for Islington's
children. Over the coming years every secondary school will be substantially
refurbished and some will be completely rebuilt. Offering the chance to learn
in a safe and clean environment giving Islington's children the best possible
start. A brand new secondary school and Academy are planned to increase the
range of choices available.
Our schools will open for longer and offer a greater diversity of learning
activities, operating at the very heart of local communities. When you pick an
Islington secondary school, our "one school" approach to education will mean
that your child benefits from the shared expertise, knowledge and specialisms
of every secondary school in the borough. The latest information and
communications technologies will make it possible to offer each child the best
tailor-made learning opportunities from each centre of excellence across the
borough - whether that's in science, business and enterprise, sport,
performing arts, languages, technology or mathematics.
A great future for your child
Education and learning are at the heart of young people's daily experience,
and we are committed to improving this experience by transforming the physical
environment in secondary schools, alongside continuing to raise achievement
and aspirations. Islington Council wants its secondary schools to be the first
choice for all Islington children and their parents.
