Education Strategy

Aspiring to Excellence


The Education Strategy, which has been established by the Committee for Education, Sport & Culture, serves as a guiding compass for what the Bailiwick's education system needs to deliver.

Even in a small community like ours, the States-maintained education system is broad and diverse, covering early years, primary, secondary, post-16, special educational needs and adult learning across numerous sites. Think of the Education Strategy as the glue that binds all this together with one common purpose.

It articulates the ambition and aspiration for the islands' learners through four overarching priorities and describes how these priorities will be realised through a series of more detailed commitments. This helps to ensure the best possible outcomes for all learners so that the education they receive makes a tangible difference to their lives and the community as a whole. Beyond our schools, our education strategy also covers community, professional and business to business learning.

Our four priorities have been developed in partnership with schools, settings and service leaders to make sure that there is a collective sense of ownership throughout States' education community.

Moving forward, everything that we do in education can be linked back to these four themes. It helps ensure accountability and that resources are directed in the best way possible.

The priorities are necessarily high-level, as you would expect any vision to be. Collectively they set out an overall framework to enable all aspects of education to flourish. What's key is that learners are always at the centre.
