Islington's Education Vision

Islington's Education vision sets out Islington's vision and overall strategy for secondary education in the borough. It takes a critical look at the current state of provision and sets out a vision for developing from this towards a more effective and engaging learning experience for the children and young people attending Islington schools.

The vision is summarised below:

"All secondary schools will be working together to offer a consistent 'one-school' approach, sharing expertise, knowledge and specialisms. This means that every child and young person will be offered a positive and attractive personalised learning experience through creative teaching, an exciting curriculum and an innovative and inclusive environment.

"Every child or young person between 14-19 will have a learning and individual career development pathway to suit him or her that fits for work, further learning, and for life as an adult. Every young person will also be offered a wide range of activities outside school or college to participate in and enjoy."
