We will help to ensure that everyone, especially people who are disadvantaged, have the opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills they need to reach their full potential.

Our pledge

By 2013 we will have

• Helped 60% of children to leave school with 5 or more good GCSEs including English and maths
• Made training available to all 14-19 year olds at local Skills Centres across the county
• Improved the achievement of 11 years olds from disadvantaged backgrounds
